You can change a number of font settings in the registry - even when the app may not have a menu option to do it via the UI. Some useful font tweaks are:

Change the "compose" and "read" fonts in your inbox:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Forms\

Change the message fonts in your inbox:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting s\

Change the system fonts:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ssystem\GDI\SysFnt\ - Treeview and Listview items
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt\ - Menu text (on the bar itself)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\ - Menu items text

Enable ClearType:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
If it doesn't exist already, create a DWORD value named "ClearType".
Set the "ClearType" value data to 1 to enable ClearType, or 0 to disable it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GlyphCache\
You can change the "limit" value:
4096 : this will slow down the display, but use less memory (default setting)
8192 : this is the default value on Pocket PC, average memory/performances
16384 : this will speed up the display, but use more memory, twice the default Pocket PC value
