If you mean the plot description on the movies/tv shows list that's easy to customize. Edit font.xml, search for the following line:

Code:

<fontset id="Arial nocaps" unicode="true" idloc="31391">

Then below this line search for:

Code:

<font>
      <name>InfoPlot</name>
      <filename>Arial.ttf</filename>
      <size>31</size>
      <aspect>1.0</aspect>
          <linespacing>1.0</linespacing>
    </font>

Adjust the size, aspect and linespacing here. (It will take effect after choosing reload skin or restarting xbmc) The InfoPlot font is used on the plot description in the movie/tv listings, in the full screen plot description (pressing info from a movie listing) and also in the full screen video info display. (pressing info from a playing video) From memory it is not used anywhere else.

If you're only editing it for yourself you can't get into much trouble - just keep a backup of Font.xml. It took me quite a while to figure out what all of the various fonts tags are used for (and I may have missed one or two locations) so when changing fonts in one location in the skin you have to be wary of the same tag affecting a font elsewhere in another layout in such a way that text no longer fits or spills beyond the boundaries. Sometimes a font tag size is a compromise between two different locations in the skin.

I could have gone a little bit bigger with the plot font but I was trying to keep it looking readable yet proportionate on both a 22" bedroom TV and a 32" living room TV.
