Bug Description

I am using the Universal Access "Large Text" setting. Upon reboot, the setting appears to be enabled, based on GUI switch appearance, but the font is very small (not sure of scaling factor, but appears to be < 1.00 - I will check this and report back next time I reboot). I have to turn the "Large Text" setting off, which actually makes the text larger, then turn it back on again, which makes it larger still (the size that I need). This does not happen on a log off; only on a reboot. If I simply log out and back in, the setting remains as it should (scaling factor of 1.25). I am aware that there is already a bug report for this problem, but it is marked as resolved last October.
