I do believe that you can accomplish that via F12 Options menu

*you could also change your screen resolution, but that will cause a decrease in the "eye candy" effect of the game*

go to options, graphics, and change the interface size to whatever you find suitable. the bigger you make the interface, the bigger the text gets also.

no it does not make the font size bigger , just the allowable lines in the chat box more. if not mistaken,

however you can make the damage effect fonts size bigger. (those yellow, red, blue, magentas one)

You could also use the magnifier option of windows, Its included with Vista and Xp.
You should find it in control panel under accessability.
When turned on there is a scalable window at the top of the screen that magnifies parts of the main screen window.

It will only work if you run the game in a window, but anything the mouse pointer is over will be magnified.

You can alter the magnification and if you revert to full screen mode its hidden.
Will cause a performance hit on the game so you would have to try it out.

Only thing I can think of apart from those already suggested.

Think you're mistaking the Interface tab with the Interface Size option under the Graphics tab. The Interface Size does change the text size, but it also changes everything else (just change the things you want smaller under Interface tab then ><)

Another solution is I know that there are magnifying screens that you can put over your monitor. Just position it over the chat part and you should be good to go. Or just pump your monitor onto your 50 inch wide screen plasma tv. My brother in-law does this and HOLLLLLYYYY COW! the resolution is Killa and HUGE. I could read it from 20 feet back and I am near sighted!.

As has been said, you can change the "Interface size" in the graphics options. You could also get a larger monitor.
