I don't think you can do this unless via the CSS, however individual users can do it themselves each time they need to.
In the full reply page for example, see the border at the bottom that separates the text area from the BBCode and Visual? Hover your mouse over that and it should turn to a different arrow (a double ended arrow), so then you click and drag down or up to increase the size. I think it's unlimited. You could drag it to be any size you want

Thanks for your reply Stinky666 but it's the text size I'd like to increase.

Everything relating to the reply page is in the Editors section of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS.

I can see font size for Visual editor - ranging from xx-small to xx-large, but I don't see any choice for BBCode editor Brian.

[Brian]

The BBCode editor and the quick reply use the styles specified in Forms > Text Areas.

Thanks Brian I'll have a play. I like to try to fix these things for myself, but sometimes knowing where is the problem, it's a bit like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

[Brian]

Let me know how it goes.

[Former Member]

Well I think I've increased the font size to large......

[Brian]

Looks good to me.

[Former Member]

Phew! LOL

Next thing I could do with some help with is to increase the text size of posted replies please Brian.

[Brian]

Add this to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet.

.posts .post .message { font-size: large; }
