Tried again with Pan and installed Tbird too. Tbird has problems with text size. My eyesight isn't too good. I can
set the body text in agent to a readable size. Can't do it in Tbird

You can do this in TB. Have a look in Edit -> Preferences -> Display tab -> Formatting Tab

Under the Fonts & Encodings section you can set whatever font and size you like. I've just changed my fixed width font (my preferred font) to 14pt and it works fine.
