I believe this bug is not a duplicate, what i reported is that after changin fonts in XFCE, the fonts in notify-osd reamined the same.
I managed to change the fonts in notify-osd to the one's i use by installing gconf-editor and editing GNOME's default font and DPI settings.
My XFCE settings are Sans 8 DPI 73, while the gnome settings were set to Sans 10 and DPI 96, changing this to my XFCE settings solved my probelm and notify-osd bubbles now have a correct font size.
Now, notify-osd should check for XFCE settings so it is compatible iwth XFCE or XFCE should change GNOME settings to be compatible with notify osd, i would think of the first one, cause i don't think XFCE is willing to be dependant on GNOME configurations, after all they're trying to make a different desktop and they already have enough GNOME dependencies i believe.
This should be definitely taken as a bug, at leat for Xubuntu users.
