A. If you mean at the top of THIS page, shown in this screen-shot:

<http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=26_iosiqhlv3_1_at-the-top-of-this-page_1.png>

The font size here is controlled by the settings at
Tools >> Options >> Display Fonts
Adjust the settings for both "Variable-pitch body" and for "Fixed-pitch body".

If there is more than one language in the drop-down "Fonts for the language",
then you must adjust the font size for each language separately.


B. If you mean at the top of THIS page, shown in this screen-shot:

<http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=26_iosiqhlv3_2_at-the-top-of-this-page_2.png>

This panel is a dialog box, and the font size is controlled by the
Microsoft Windows font size setting for dialog boxes. You adjust
this in Windows.

One advantage of adjusting this in Windows is that it will make it
easier to read all dialog boxes, both in Agent and in other programs.

If you really do want to adjust the font size only here in Agent,
there is an agent.xrs mod to do this.

1. In the same folder as agent.exe is another file, agent.xrs.
The file agent.xrs is a ZIP file with a .xrs extension.
Inside this zip file is another file "dialogs.xrc".

2. To make this mod, you need to extract the file dialogs.xrc,
make two changes in dialogs.xrc, and then put the modified
dialogs.xrc back inside the file agent.xrs.

3. The file dialogs.xrc is an .xml file with a .xrs extension.

Search dialogs.xrc for the string "DLG_MSGWINARTICLE"
and then for the string "DLG_MSGWINMAIL".
In each case, add the four lines shown below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|–––| <object class="wxPanel" name= "DLG_MSGWINARTICLE">
|–––| <style>wxTAB_TRAVERSAL|wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE</style>
|ADD| <font>
|ADD| <sysfont>wxSYS_DEFAULT_GUI_FONT</sysfont>
|ADD| <relativesize>1.5</relativesize>
|ADD| </font>
|–––| <object class="wxBoxSizer">
|–––| <orient>wxVERTICAL</orient>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
