To change the default font *size*,
we could try this (It's a windows setting)

Right-click on any empty space in the desktop choose Properties

Select Appearance tab Advanced button
(in Win XP)

In the Advanced Appearance dialog:
Click on "Item" dropdown menu choose Tooltip
Choose a (larger) font size OK Apply

To change font *type* and formatting (eg: bold),
try Debra's page at:

(Scroll down & look for the section: "Insert a Formatted Comment")

How do I change the annoyingly small default font size on the comments.
Tahoma 8 is way too small?
