I have been trying to use emacs 21.3, but the default font size is too
small for me to see properly. I want to make the default font larger.
I have searched through the online faq etc but cant find any explanation
that i can understand. Can someone please help me with this?

One way is to specify the font as an X resource (assuming you're running
in the X window system). Here's what I have in my ~/.Xdefaults file:
Emacs*Font: -*-courier-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
See the Font Specification Options section (aka the Font X node) of the
Emacs manual for a complete description of the components of an X
Logical Font Description: 120 above means 12.0 point size.
Another way is to specify the font as a frame parameter in your ~/.emacs file:
(setq default-frame-alist ; and/or initial-frame-alist?
'((font . "-*-courier-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15")))
