Windows 7 (Aero) does not offer an option to easily change the taskbar font size.
BACKGROUND:
I was using the Medium Text size of 125%.
(Set via Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display)
The problem I found was that many programs, sad to say, Microsoft's included, don't scale or position properly at other than 100%. I've reset the DPI to 100%, and have been able to customize most of my windows settings for easy reading, except the task bar font size
In Summary:
- There are many ways to change the taskbar font color.
- I'm looking to increase the actual font size.

You can not change the appearance of the taskbar in that way, The only alternative I see is not using the default Explorer shell (taskbar & desktop). Windows has the ability to use alternative shells.
