Bug Description

After re-starting Ubuntu following the latest kernel update (which came on Jan 30 or 31), in Unity, the text scaling factor is now being ignored in the menu headings in all applications as well as for file/folder icons and all text in Nautilus and the Dash. It also has no effect on the time displayed in the system tray (though it continues to scale the other icons in the system tray).

In the Universal Access settings, I have the text size set to large, which changes the text scaling factor from 1.0 to 1.25. I have also tried changing the text scaling factor through the Unity Tweak Tool, but that doesn't make a difference.

An attachment is including showing a few screenshots. Notice that the menu headings are much smaller than the menu items in the dropdown, and the time display is smaller than the icons in the system tray. The icons and text in Nautilus are also smaller than the menu items, and remains unaffected when changing the text scaling factor.

This is a brand new problem with the recent update. I've been running 13.10 since it was first released, and this problem just started today.
