We had trouble working out how to change font sizes from the doc. too.
Eventually I worked out the following assignments:

Make "large font" the default for window creation:
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_SPACING_DEF  9
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_SPACING_080  9
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_SPACING_132  9
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_POINTS_DEF  14
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_POINTS_080  14
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_POINTS_132  14

Make "small font" the default for window creation:
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_SPACING_DEF  7
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_SPACING_080  7
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_SPACING_132  7
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_POINTS_DEF  12
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_POINTS_080  12
   $ DEFINE/SYSTEM UIS$VT_POINTS_132  12
