For changing font size use Black Plastic Theme! Try the latest from extras devel! works like a charm! you also can choose your font not only the size of it, plus another cool options. after install you will find the plastic theme setup under the settings menu!
Hope this will help!

About fonts i do no yet know. Try different themes. Its probably possible to edit some settings file by hand and i do not now have time to search it for you but i will get back if i happend to see something.
.edit
Oh puiradu just explained how to get different font size. Nice.

Going through some pages of Customize N900 Conversations I managed to increase the font-size of IM conversations. Procedure follows simply as:
Go under /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html/
and edit MessagingWidgetsChatConversation.css
Locate div.Message { }
and add or modify font-size: 32 px
32 px is my current setting. Not sure how to alter other font size system yet unsure if any exist. This is the most required one for me and I have a solution.
I am looking more generic ways to increase font size in conversations and making it full screen to gain little more space. Jump in if you are interested in -> Two questions about conversations app

icons have always that fade out look which makes sense only with the depressing default backgrounds (what is it with all these dark "oh, i wanna kill myself" themes?).
having to reboot after each change is not really appealing -- it has something decidedly windows-ish about it -- simply restarting X should be more than sufficient.
would be far more interesting, if somebody could create an application that allows easy change of font and size ...
i wonder, how meego will be in this respect -- still the same "stupid users do not need to configure anything except the background image" attitude, nokia sports so splendidly in maemo?

/usr/share/themes/YOURTHEMEFOLDER/gtk2.0/gtkrc
/usr/share/themes/YOURTHEMEFOLDER/css/colors.css
After that just regenerate the gtkrc.cache and you're good to go (I suppose I don't have to explain how to do that since you already know about restarting the "X" and stuff like that...).
Btw, if you don't mind, please share what that "X" in fremantle is and how to restart it. I'm anxious to know how to refresh ALL theme elements without restarting the device. I would implement it immediately to Plastic Theme Setup.
Edit: yes, I'm having a bad day, trying to get rid of smoking...

Moving from 4.1 screen to 3,5 didn’t help my eyes at all.
I was just thinking is there a way to increase system font size and also make the icons on the desktop look larger I was able to do it in winmo and symbian devices. I’ve tried to search , but didn’t find info on this, if this was discussed, point me please to that discussion
