I am experiencing something related to this bug (specifically Alexander
Sack's wontfix in #43) using UNR Karmic Alpha 2 on an Acer Aspire One.

The screen resolution is about 134 dpi, but fonts are rendered by
default at 96 dpi:

$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
  resolution:    133x135 dots per inch
$ gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi
96

...the result is headache-inducing on the very small (~9" diagonal)
screen. Setting 134 dpi manually is much better. UI elements *do* eat up
a lot more screen real estate, but I personally much prefer that to
squinting at the screen or having to lean very close to it.

I don't know what the proper thing to do is, so I will add the 'karmic'
and 'ubuntu-unr' tags; if I should report a separate bug, please let me
know.

** Tags added: karmic ubuntu-unr
