The Universal Access control panel lets you change the system font size. If you do this, notify-osd does not respect the selected size - it seems to pick up the second-to-last font size selected, but not the last (current) font size selected by the universal access control panel.
To reproduce:
1) Note the font size of a notification (trigger by adjusting brightness on a laptop display
2) Open the universal access control panel (e.g. by searching for 'font' in the dash)
3) In the "Seeing" tab, change "Text size" from "Normal" to "Small". Note that the text size in open applications and in the panel changes
4) Trigger a notification. Note the size of the notification - it is the same as the size of the notification in step 1
4) Change the text size back to "Normal"
5) Trigger a notification. Note the size - it is small
Expected results:
1) The notification in step 4 is small, since that's the system font size
2) The notification in step 5 is back to normal, since that's the system font size
This behavior seems consistent - the size of the notification always seems to be the size of the previously-selected system font, not the current system font.

This is a bug in Notify OSD, not in Unity.
