There's a free program called TinkerTool, available at http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html, which will change the system text font/size as well as a lot of other "hidden" settings. I haven't used it extensively but it has worked OK so far (I haven't tried changing the system font). They have some other interesting sounding tools...
