The following bit of elisp should help, but ideally, just set a bigger
default font in your .Xdefaults file or via xrdb.

(defun my-set-font (font)
  "Change the current font under X.  Works with epoch, nemacs, or normal
gnu-emacs."
  (if (boundp 'epoch::version) (epoch::font font) (x-set-font font)))

(defun tiny ()   (interactive) (my-set-font "6x10"))
(defun small ()  (interactive) (my-set-font "6x13"))
(defun medium () (interactive) (my-set-font "8x13"))
(defun big ()    (interactive) (my-set-font "9x15"))
(defun normal () (interactive) (my-set-font "9x15"))
(defun huge()    (interactive) (my-set-font "10x20"))
