Use 'xlsfonts' to get a list of available fonts (on my system it is a 
huge list and zooms past on the screen.  I usually use 'xlsfonts | less' 
to view the list).  Among the many fonts listed is 7x14, 8x13, 8x16, 
9x15.  See if any of those will work for you.  Alternatively, you can 
use xfontsel to see the fonts and then use the name it shows in place of 
7x13.

Making the window contents larger can be done with Control-right click 
and selecting the size you want.
