Client Font Sizes: 
 
General Throughout client (dialogs, etc) 
Note: Most application forms and views will ignore this setting. 
/instance/com.ibm.notes.client/pref.font.size=null 
/instance/com.ibm.rcp.ui/FONT_SIZE=null 
 
Normal: both values =null 
Large: 11 and 1 respectively 
Extra Large: 13 and 2 
 
Mail Views: 
 
- Font Size: 
Default: 
/instance/com.ibm.notes.client/pref.font.size=null 
or 
/instance/com.ibm.notes.client/pref.font.size=default 
 
Custom: 
/instance/com.ibm.notes.client/pref.font.size=n 
(where n is a number between, and including, 8 and 20) 
 
- Font Family: 
/pref.font.family=Default Sans Serif 
(replace Default Sans Serif example with name of font. Note that name of font could be different depending on platform.) 
 
- Font Weight for Read and Unread Mail: 
/instance/com.ibm.notes.client/pref.unread.mail.font 
=null (bold); normal (normal, not bold) 
 
/instance/com.ibm.notes.client/pref.read.mail.font 
=null (normal, not bold); bold 
 
You can also adjust the MAIL_USER_STYLES for the font colors in the Fonts preference dialogs. However, the syntax is tedious.
