Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-common
To reproduce have Nvidia gtx-250 card, enable 3d drivers and restart, try to adjust font sizes to different size or try to adjust font resolution. I cannot make my fonts bigger or smaller at all. They are all rendering at 9point with the exception of my window tital and desktop font. When I disable nvidia proprietary drivers problem is fixed, but I have no 3-d support. When I enable them it's back. I tried upgrading to the latest beta nvidia drivers but the exact same thing happens. I cannot get fonts to render in anything but the "Ubuntu" font at 9points. All my apps and menus are they same way. I can't read any of it.

I may have just fixed this. I installed the latest nvidia driver and mstt fonts and mathematica fonts. During installation, synaptic froze and I had to hard reboot. Now the fonts work and themes are rendering properly. I'm going to reboot to see if it's persistent.
