Can I change the size of the Xcode IDE fonts?

I'd like to change the font size of the "Groups & Files" panel of the Xcode IDE. I know how to change the "Fonts & Colors" in the preferences, but those (seem to) only affect the code window, not the rest of the IDE. Any ideas? Thanks!

I believe you can change the size of the Groups & Files pane by setting the PBXTableFontSize parameter in ~Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist. This needs PBXTableFont to be set first to take effect.

1) Run defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXTableFontSize 20 in Terminal, substituting 20 for whatever value you wish to use.
2) Run defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXTableFont Helvetica in Terminal, substituting Helvetica for the font you wish to use. I'm not sure what OS X's default Sans Serif font is, but Helvetica is pretty generic.

I also wanted to do so. It's ridiculously small!

No, I don't believe this is possible - unless you want to start hacking away at XCode's internal structure. I'd file an enhancement request on this.
