Comment 4 for bug 550910

I tried manually reverting the font size, with no effect.

I cannot use the live session CD as it is a netbook, without a CD drive. :(

I can confirm that the 2d launcher (when selected from GDM) works fine.
FYI - this system was upgraded from Karmic, in the normal way - it is not a
fresh install.

Would a screenshot help?
