Uh, by following the directions given in the FAQ?

Which seems to spell out fairly clearly what to do here.

Why are you looking in .blackboxrc for something called
"font-size-on-desktop-environment"? That's not what the FAQ, which
you quoted above, tells you to do.
Marc Wilson indicates above that the font is set in the style you
use. The FAQ entry you quoted above says you change the font by
editing the style file you're using. That's two different
directions to look at the style file you're using. So it'd seem to
me that what you'd wanna do at this point is *look at the style file
you're using*.
So what style file are you using? Where do you look? Well, the FAQ
entry you quoted above says to look in .blackboxrc for the property
"session.styleFile" to find out what style file you're using. So, it'd
seem to me that you'd wanna look for that property in your .blackboxrc.
