We are currently looking at a beta version of knowledge broader and
our first reaction is "The font size is too small".  Does anyone know
how to change the font to a larger font?

I would also like to change the font size used by dialogue.

FLAME ON
A general comment I have about the font sizes used by Apollo is, "You
guys must have great vision!"  The default fonts used are much too
small and fine.  They are too hard to read and cause a lot more eye
strain than necessary.
FLAME OFF

For our monochrome stations we use the f7x13.b as our normal font. 
The size is ok and the bold gives a brighter font (which is needed to
overcome the low intenesty screen and normal office light).  For our
color stations we use the default.

Could someone please comment on why Apollo uses such a small font.
