Unreadable font size in ubuntu 20.4

Question

I had installed gnome-tweaks to play around the visual appearance of my ubuntu system however for some reason the fonts have become really small and strain the eyes.

I have removed the gnome-tweaks however the font size remain the same,this begins even before login.

Any idea how this can be corrected ( I have tried to increase the size but it reverts after i logout )

Could you install gnome-tweaks again and show the font menu? — schrodingerscatcuriosity, Sep 12 '20 at 20:48

Does this answer your question? Ubuntu 20.04 interface font too small after restart, even with high scaling factor — Lorenz Keel, Sep 17 '20 at 10:00

Ubuntu 20.04 And up

Install GNOME Tweaks from the Ubuntu Software app.
Open GNOME Tweaks.
Go to the Fonts Category.
Change the Interface Text to a more larger font size. (11 or more)
Save the changes.

Other Methods: Reinstall OS. reinstall gnome-shell. reinstall ubuntu-desktop.

Will try the steps, reinstalling the OS is an overkill for me – Atul Sep 18 '20 at 15:01
Also, some useful info for you: the default font size for ubuntu and gnome. (11 for Interface font, 11 for Document Text, 13 For monospace font, 11 for Legacy window titles.) – CookieWeeb Sep 18 '20 at 15:51
Apparently, the scaling factor changes the size i am facing issue with however it seems to be temporary and once i reboot, its gone. – Atul Sep 19 '20 at 12:55
