Don't know, whether you can enlarge the default font. The method 
that I am using frequently may sound a little complicated, but 
isn't:
Get TTF2PCX and use it to convert a Windows TTF to a pcx. Then 
use the grabber and create a data file with a font. Grab pcx 
into the font. From your programs, load the data file and the 
new font.

HTH,

Manni
