Possible Duplicate:
How do I change the font DPI settings?

With the introduction of the new global system settings application, it seems like they forgot about this (along with many other important) features.

Is there still a way to do this in 11.04?

You might be able to start the settings program "by hand". – queueoverflow Sep 3 '11 at 13:09

gconf-editor is applicable to gnome shell only.

If you want to change DPI for unity shell, use dconf-editor . (It comes with dconf-tools)

The procedure is same as detailed above.
