This might be one place to start: http://www.emacswiki.org/SetFonts#ChangingFontSize Probably you just want to customize the relevant faces, setting their fonts= to the sizes you want. E.g., use `M-x customize-face' and change the `Heig= ht' value. For the mode line there are two faces: `mode-line' and `mode-line-inactive'= . For tabbar.el, it is probably face `tabbar-default' that you want.
