The issue of the font size in xine has come up many times. After much googling I found no solutions. I figured out a way to get it done.

From within the xine window typing a "g" makes the controls appear and disappear. The controls are what the "skins" specify.

The first step is to install some skins and pick the one that you would like if only it was big enough to read or some other issue.

In the .xine directory, you will find the skins directory. In there is a directory for each skin. Copy one of them into a new one called lets say "MySkin" and
then go into MySkin.

In there there are a huge number of *.png files and a file called SkinConfig.

Do an "open as text" on SkinConfig.

Search for the "font =" lines
Remember what size they say and then
Make them all use a bigger font like this:
