I'm afraid you're SOL. You can change the font that dialogs will use in the
future by calling SetDAFont(fontNum), but this only affects editText and
statText items. Control Titles are always in the system font, and I don't think
there's any kosher way of changing the System Font with the old ROMs
(especially the size). I remember that you can do this fairly easily with the
new ROMs, but you'll have to look in IM IV for that...

I _strongly_ suggest that you re-think your interface. A screen design so
crowded is liable to make things slower for the user, not faster.
