The X11 device has an argument `pointsize' (which may well mean pixel size in a particular implementation of X11, as my laptop for example has width, height and pointsize all much smaller than specified): just increase it.
The advice to look at ?par is incorrect if you want to scale everything, as I think you do. If you want auto-launched windows to have a larger font, you need to write a wrapper to X11 and set options(device=wrapper_name).
