Regression: can't change system font, critical accessibility issue

[Laurent Dinclaux]

In Oneric it is no more possible to change the system fonts "in live". The settings for it have disappeared. Some talked about gnome-tweak-tool but it needs to logout to apply changes which make it a hassle to fine tune font settings.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

No, this is not a critical accessibility issue.

Minimal support for changing the fonts size is present in System Settings>Universal Access and set the Text Size. If you need more, you're welcome to install gnome-tweak-tool.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
