how can i change the default text size of applications?

[KroNiC~BSD]

Can i change the size of the display fonts without changing my
resolution? Ok, here is the issue. I am  using a digital panel with
1280x1024 for my resolution. Everything is fine except the text for
applications is too small and the text in terminal windows ....again too
small. For ex. in a app. such as mozilla, firebird, openoffice etc... the
menus ...file edit view tools help etc.. are too small. In thunderbird ,
i can increase the text size for the reading portion but again the menu
or the portion that shows the subject, sender and date are too small for
comfort. As i also mentioned the text for xterm or aterm is the same, too
small to read comfortably.

thanks in advance and have a great day.
