You can increase the DPI of the screen in "Universal Access" -> "Larger text".
I must be weird, in that I have a > 96 dpi screen, and I want the default fonts *smaller*.
I wanted them smaller too, and the code to do that is in git now (after the nice designer mentioned the use case for it, and filed a bug).
Then again, 140dpi on a laptop at typing distance is different from 140dpi on a on-desk monitor, in terms of the relative visual height of text. And without assuming everyone has a webcam, we're not going to auto-adjust for viewing distance any time soon.
