default textsize and textfont?

[Pete]

There's a free program called TinkerTool, available at
http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html, which will change the system
text font/size as well as a lot of other "hidden" settings.  I haven't used
it extensively but it has worked OK so far (I haven't tried changing the
system font).  They have some other interesting sounding tools...
