        Hi,
the font settings in Preferences contains a line with "Minimum font
size (in pixels), that's to limit the smallest font size. It can have
side effects in the layout, when the HTML creator expects certain size
to fit the view, thus count with it.

That's using the font from the system, just as any other application
(and the message preview as well, by default, when you do not override
it in the Preferences).

Nonetheless, since 3.44.0 you can address both parts in gtk+'s CSS
file:

   ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

as

   MessageList, .EMFolderTree {
           font-size:120%;
   }

or make the font larger for every gtk+ (gtk3) application:

   * {
           font-size:120%;
   }

but it's easier, and more logic, to set a larger font in the system
settings than this.

By the way, did you consider to check the user documentation? Many
things are covered there. Not precisely these, but many other are. You
can have it installed locally, or you can check it online:
