Dave, If you are thinking only of font size you need to be aware that Legacy will usually adjust the size of the font based on the height of the screen that is open. This is controlled by the "stretch fonts when re-sizing" setting on the Options > Customize > Fonts Tab.
If there is a check mark in that setting then font size will grow or shrink based on the height of your screen. If the check mark is removed then Legacy will use the current font size at the time the check mark is removed as a fixed size. You should also know that there are two font sizes specified for the screen fonts, a maximum and a minimum. The font size on the screens will not be smaller than the minimum size but can expand to the max. The defaults for these are 6 and 99. I believe those are measured in points where there are 72 points/inch. Your statement about different font sizes for labels and data is not, in my experience, true. On any given screen the font size for labels and data are the same. The screen options only select the fonts for those parts so any apparent difference in size is probably due the variations between fonts. Labels and data can use different fonts and the defaults are Arial for the labels and Times New Roman for data.
