Adrian , let me help you out here

STEP 1 : Open up text editor

STEP 2 : type in the following(for a scaling factor of 1.0):
#!/bin/sh
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/text-scaling-factor 1.01
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/text-scaling-factor 1.0

STEP 3 : save it as a script(scripts end with .sh) say textfix.sh ; anywhere you like.

STEP 4 : open up Startup Applications(It is a program included in Ubuntu by default).

STEP 5 : In startup applications click on add.

STEP 6 : Then in the NAME column type in something relevant like font fix(this is optional).

STEP 7 : For the COMMAND column click browse and select the script that we made earlier.
The command column will be filled with the path to the script now.Before the path name, type in the word 'bash'.Now the command column will be filled with something like this 'bash /pathToScript'.

STEP 8 : Click on add(The comment column too is optional).

STEP 9 : now close startup applications , and reboot.

STEP 10 : Things will now return back to normal , so rejoice!

Hope this helped
