Are you inquiring about changing font size just for your development purposes
or in general? If it is just to make things more comfortable for youself,
I'm not sure how you would adjust those settings.
However, if you are talking about the general interface, remember that
children are going to be using these interfaces, not adults. When reading
text on a screen, children prefer larger, sans-serif fonts.
The usability lab at Wichita has done a lot of research on reading text on
screen, here is one study in particular as a reference:

I'd rather not change my own font settings just to make myself happy,
because I want to know that I'm looking at the same screen all the kids
will be. I thought the current size was based on assumptions of
readability of the swizzled screen, and was more of a guess than a final
decision. If the current font size is based on that research, then
that's good enough for me.
The current setup is basically... random ;) The HIG has a section about
font size which we should implement. Patches are welcome.
