I think the main problem is that the default font size is now 13.333 for
most fonts except for "Desktop Font" and "Window Title" where it is 10.
This causes the weird behavior see in Chris Coulson's screen shot (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgnome/+bug/345189/comments/26
) where the icons on the desktop and the icons in Nautilus (drawn by the
same application) have different sized text.

Aside from that, I think that unless nautilus is also broken and uses
way too big fonts for the definition of 13.333px, this definition is not
a good default and should be reverted back to 10px (which looks really
nice on my 96dpi display, and have always been).

Also, just as a side note, in MS-Windows the default desktop font size
is even smaller then 10px (or equivalent, I'm not sure how MS-Windows
font-sizes map to GNOME's) and a lot of people I talked with are
complaining that the fonts are too big when they move from MS-Windows to
GNOME.

MASTER regression after switching system font size to 13.333 pixel - fonts 
appear too large in some apps that do hand made font sizing - treating pixel 
units as point units
