Fonts in Gnome are too small

Asked by wired4u

Since I have upgraded to feisty the fonts in gnome and many other
applications are very small. I have tried increasing the text size and
tried different fonts from the fonts menu but it end up looking like
wrong as seen in the screen shot. nerveending.org/screenshot.png Other
applications like firefox the font is fine. I am sure the nvidia drivers
are correctly installed because all the effect in feisty work fine.

I have posted this issue in several other forms already so I believe I have most of the needed info available in the 1st post :}

dpkg -l nvidia-\* | grep ii

evilleet@box:~$ dpkg -l nvidia-\* | grep ii

Hello,

the font size you are searching should be controlled by the first line in the font settings, I guess it is called »Fonts in applications« as I use a german Ubuntu where it is »Schrift in Anwendungen«.

Can you help with this problem?
