Bug Description

Ubuntu 20.04.1, Gnome Shell 3.36.4

I set the Fonts size scaling factor to 1.25 with Gnome Tweaks, Everything is fine in previous.

But, after some recent Ubuntu update, the font size always fall back to default size at each startup, and the scaling factor shown in Gnome Tweaks is still 1.25, but failed to take effect.

Also, if I reset the scaling factor after system startup, everything will back to normal.
