you can just increase the magstep  point.

Else, to do it on a permanent basis, for example, you can do something
like this (include this as a header starting from 3rd line of your .ps
file.

/fontsize <your_preferred_size_point> def
/fontname <fontxyz> def
/myfont { fontname fontsize } def

Then, whereever you find <fontxyz> occuring in your ps file, change it to
myfont.

Note that this is a very tedious process, and you'll have to do this for
every font that occurs in that ps file.

And if there are any tools available to do this, i'll be more than happy
to know. Folks.. anyone?

Sharad.

P.S. BTW, you need to increase your font size in this fashion only if your
PS file generator is really screwed up. Better thing will be to compile
that generator with proper configuration.
