If you are controlling the output via a program, you can specify a small
font (font 1) to ->GROB to generate a GROB with text in a very small
font.  If you store that GROB in PICT and then use PVIEW to view it,
you will get what you want.  For an example, see the TODO program
posted earlier.

I don't know of any way to make the default stack display use a
smaller font.
