Hi Andre,

  in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/.rootrc you will find a list of all resources
supported by all ROOT programs. To change the GUI related fonts change
the font size in the lines:

# GUI specific settings
Gui.NormalFont:        -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.BoldFont:          -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.SmallFont:         -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Gui.ProportionalFont:  -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

to your liking (e.g. 12 to 14, 10 to 12).

Best is to copy this example .rootrc file to your home directory or
working directory. The .rootrc's are processed in the following order:
$ROOTSYS/.rootrc, $HOME/.rootrc, ./.rootrc. The last found resource
setting is used.

Cheers, Fons.
