Good question. Are you on Mac OS X? I noticed that the fonts are small
also.

I found that Zenmap honors the GTK+ theme. I put the following in the
file ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

style "user-font"
{
        font_name = "Normal 16"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

and that gave me nice big fonts. It would only be a little work to
include an rc file like that in the application bundle. It would be used
if the user hadn't set up a custom .gtkrc-2.0 (which is probably the
common case). Is this a problem for any other Mac users? Is there maybe
a DPI setting to change somewhere that would be a better fix?
