Bug Description

The scaling functions in Unity for adapting to High Resolution Displays (high ppi, like Apple Retina) show strange behavior. I made screencasts to document these.

Problems:
1. Higher number does not result in higher fonts
2. Numbers are extremely disproportional to resulting sizes

System is current 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina, 2560x1600 pixels, Intel Iris video (no proprietary driver).

Oh, I forgot to mention the affected versions. I made the capture video in 14.10, but it was the same in 14.04 LTS.
