By default window title bar on Gnome has bigger font size. How can I resize that font size on window title bar? I want it to be smaller like on KDE or MS Windows.

In Gnome 3, you can adjust titlebar fonts with gnome-tweak-tool:
Fonts > Window title font
or dconf-editor:
org > gnome > desktop > wm > preferences :: titlebar-font
or gsettings (in terminal):
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-font 'Droid Bold 10'
where Droid Bold is the name/type of your font and 10 is the size.
This works as long as your titlebar doesn't use system fonts:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-uses-system-font false

dconf-editor is unreliable in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/d-conf/+bug/1024168 – Morpfh Nov 19 '12 at 19:38

Does this work on 14.04? – Mr. P Jun 27 '14 at 09:33

You could just open
dconf-editor by typing that in terminal
go to: org > gnome > desktop > interface
change the titlebar font.

`dconf-editor` can reset a property to default value (if you forgot it like me) – aliopi Dec 22 '16 at 15:16
