Bug Description
When you have the unity dash open (by clicking the ubuntu icon in the top left) it opens the black-background menu. The font in this window is massive compared to my appearance settings, and is rather incongruous, looking out of place when the rest of my screen is using the standard settings.
My appearance settings have all the font sizes set to 10 or 11pt, as in my terminal, and yet the unity dash goes for jumbo-font nastiness, looking really terrible against the rest of my desktop - please can this be made consistent throughout the UI, or at least allow me to set it somewhere. Please see screenshot for description.

I guess this is the right bug topic...
I have a visual impairment, and cannot read the Application text below the app icons in Dash, which makes the Dash and Application lists (and consequently the entire UI) unusable. There is no way I know of to change the Dash font. Now, while there are Accessibility option like Universal Access, since they have nothing to do with Dash, it makes for a totally incongruent experience, and I'm astounded that Ubuntu's new interface was not designed to accommodate the visually impaired. This should not be an Unassigned bug of Low importance. It's a major usability regression when compared to pre-Unity Ubuntu.
