This seems to have an answer to a similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5380487/is-it-possible-to-change-the-font-size-of-the-project-panel

You could also try changing your system font and see if Intellij picks that up. Might only work for the menus though and if you are using the system theme like GTK+ on Linux.
