Last week, fonts in Ubuntu 20.04 have grown a lot bigger. How do I revert them to the old size? I can't find desktop icon font size in settings or tweak tool.

2Are you sure that your screen resolution or scaling hasn't changed? – Nmath Sep 19 '20 at 17:13

1I suppose that your issue was due to this bug. A fix has been committed and you will get it (if you haven't already) through an update. – BeastOfCaerbannog Sep 23 '20 at 10:40

you can try this out to change font size on ubuntu 20.04:
Option One:
open settings.
go to universal access.
check if Large Text is on - if it is, turn it off.
Option Two:
use gnome tweaks.
use
sudo apt install gnome-tweaksto install the tool.after installation open the app.
then change the scaling factor value to 1.0 (wich is the default value).
Option Three:
using terminal to increase or decrease text size.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor (value)- value 1 its the default value.gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor- to reset the value to his default size.this link found helpful to solve the problem How do I change the font DPI settings? (added after edit).

I had already checked 1 and 2. 3 does the same as 2, right?. I am wondering how Ubuntu changed this by itself. – Christine Sep 21 '20 at 10:49

John, this was what I was looking for. Can you promote your comment to an answer so I can mark it? I used dconf-editor which solved the issue. – Christine Sep 23 '20 at 09:35
