Changing font size is effective for any 'new' pages that are displayed. The jijx window gets new output incrementally so the page isn't 'new' and you won't see the effect immediately. A page refresh (I think they call it reload on the Mac) will get a 'new' page and you will see the effect.
Stopping and restarting the JHS server is necessary to load the startup_jhs.ijs script to set an initial value other than the default. So, changing the value of PC_FONTSIZE will effect the next new page (e.g., refresh of jijx page). To have it be automatically set at startup it needs to be done by the startup_jhs.ijs script. You can see the exact code that loads startup_jhs.ijs in ~addons/ide/jhs/core.ijs. Look at that file and search for startup_jhs.
