  • look for "scale" or scaling in the monitor/desktop/display system settings, report back what that is set to.

  • Or if you could, then download Ubuntu tweak from app Center. It will provide you options to modify various font size.

    I was unable to change the font size of the top bar text using the suggestion from @Pandya, but I did find an alternative. For Ubuntu 18.04, go to Settings > Universal Access and then enable Large Text. This changes the top bar text (as well as window title bars)
