After upgrading to 12.04 my fonts are now huge. The only way I have found to solve it, is by running the following command after startup:

$ sudo gnome-settings-daemon 

** (process:3299): WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

** (gnome-settings-daemon:3285): WARNING **: Unable to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

(gnome-settings-daemon:3285): color-plugin-WARNING **: failed to reset xrandr-default gamma tables: gamma size is zero

Can somebody help solve this problem?

Update 3 To follow up, I never found a solution and ended up reinstalling it all

  • What else have you tried, and what other desktop environments, if any, do you have installed? – thomasrutter Apr 27 '12 at 12:33
  • I haven't tried much else, but as the title says gnome 3 is installed, and was installed before the upgrade as well. I have attached a screenshot showing the problem. – zpon Apr 27 '12 at 19:04
  • If you reset your gnome configuration, does this fix this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/how-do-i-reset-gnome-to-the-defaults – fossfreedom May 07 '12 at 12:21
  • It did not help removing the folders suggested in your link. But when I create a new user everything looks fine and logs in with this, everything looks fine. – zpon May 10 '12 at 06:15
  • I'm not sure if this will work: try to delete the .fontconfig file on your home folder. – Alfredo Hernández Jun 11 '12 at 07:43
  • It did not help to remove .fontconfig – zpon Jun 18 '12 at 05:38

Try to install gnome-tweak-tool via terminal:

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Then start it with

gnome-tweak-tool

on terminal and go to font settings. Set the fonts to "Ubuntu" with font size "11" and for window titles "Ubuntu Bold".

By the way: What you describe should be a bug, but with this workaround you can get your fonts set to default.
