I was trying to find the perfect font size and shrank the font to zero. now all the fonts in apps and menus are so tiny the dont even show with zoom. How can I fix this? Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome. I tried tabbing through advanced settings hitting ctrl&+ and managed to change window fonts. Too bad they are exactly where I want them.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Ubuntu 11'
