The Windows and Linux stories are a bit different here, and also different between MD and non-MD.

Marking this as specifically about Linux.  estade would know better than me what the capabilities and plans are there.

well we do change most other fonts in chrome to match system settings, so ideally location bar would do so as well. I think this is basically  bug 550583  --- there's nothing specific to Linux about it since AFAIK we hardcode that font size on all platforms, and removing the hardcoding would fix this without further effort on Linux.
