You don't have to look inside the Toolset folder if you open the
dictionary in Rev first. That's just where it is saved. However before
messing with any of the Rev stacks, I always prefer to make a backup
copy.

Open the Dictionary.
Go to the View menu and make sure "Revolution UI Elements in Lists" is checked.
Open the Application Browser.
Find revDictionary in the list.
Toggle the disclosure arrow until you can see the Index card.
Find & select the Entry field.
Right-click on it's name and choose Property Inspector.
Set the font size to whatever you like.
Go to the Entry Viewer card.
Again, find the Entry field and set it's text size.
Save the revDictionary stack.

This won't give a perfect solution, but it may improve things for you.

This technique works for all the stacks in the Rev IDE except for the
ones that deal with registration codes and so on.

HTH,
Sarah
