It is a dpi problem. Apparently it has something to do with compiz starting before gdm ( or the other way around). drvista on the ubuntu forums managed to find a fix though. It worked for me at least.
In /etc/gdm/gdm.conf change: [server-Standard] name=Standard server -command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 to [server-Standard] name=Standard server -command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 -dpi 96 -- Large fonts in window titles https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/141001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
