Hi
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 in two computers.
My new LCD monitor have hight resolution (1920x1200) and I like this resolution. But texts are to small now. I used to use System>Preferences>Font Menu to adjust all texts sizes but now there is now such item in that menu.
The question is which package must to be installed by synaptic to add "Font" in System>Preferences menu?
Thanks for your attention guys.:D

BUMP!
No answers yet?
It seems that the font preferences windows is deleted from ubuntu since 9.04 version.
I ran "gconf-editor" and went to "/desktop/gnome/interface" and changed all font names from something like "DejaVu Sans 8" to something like "DejaVu Sans 12" or "DejaVu Sans 14". That changed font sizes off all windows enough larger to save me from being really blind. I did not find any easier way to do this.
Also window title texts are still in small size and hard to read.

Just right-click anywhere on the desktop, and select Change Desktop Background, then click on the Fonts tab. Set them to whatever you want.
