That's less a function of the fonts than the display resolution. If you can run a higher display resolution, you'll find the same font will appear proportionately smaller. After you find the best display resolution for your hardware set-up, you might want to tweak application font settings. For instance, I use a slightly larger font for xterms than is the default, because at the display resolution I use, the default it too small. Note, you can change xterm fonts on the fly by using Ctrl-<Right Click> anywhere in an xterm and selecting a size.
