By default Ubuntu assumes you use a 96 DPI monitor. But nowadays pixel density keeps increasing as monitors with high resolution became accessible. There is no straightforward option in Ubuntu with Unity to change the default DPI which is considered to be 96 DPI (run in a terminal xrdb -query). But there are two parameters which control the user interface DPI (this affects font rendering too) and font rendering only.
The parameter that controls user interface and fonts DPI is scaling-factor and the font rendering parameter is text-scaling factor. These parameters can be modified by the Displays application, by GNOME Tweak Tool and by Unity Tweak Tool, but none of these allows you to set a value with 3-4 decimals.
