I presume you are talking about the popup window shown below.
Unfortunately, the font of that window is fixed and several users have complained about that and other windows whose font cannot be changed.

However, in this case, that window is only transitory to either a Diagram or Report in which the fonts can be changed.

That is the window, yes. I understand the transitory nature of the window, however, the font is so minuscule that some of us who are a bit nearsighted struggle to see the View Report option. This would be a valid feature request, certainly.

If this is a eyesight related issue, why not just use the native Windows solution, i.e. the Magnifier app, or one of the similar third-party freeware applications, which might offer more options and would work across all applications, not just Family Historian.

Personally, I can't see Calico Pie considering the enhancement request (Wishlist item) a significant priority when Windows already provides a ready made solution within its "Ease of Access" settings.

Most screen magnifier apps are very cumbersome to use, especially on a laptop.
