there an .ini - hang on , i ll search it ... it describes all the fonts used along with the font size - you can simply set the fonts to whatever font you like as well as the size...
looking for the name of the file....
freelancer/fonts/fonts.ini
open it with the editor and set your fonts to a smaller size - if you do not have the font "AgencyFB" which is the default font for freelancer, you can also use another font - make sure that you don t use rediculous fonts and sizes as it can screw your HUD up.
AgencyFB works best - but Franklin Gothic Medium is OK, too - a lot of others like times new roman mess up your infocards, cause they don t use the same spacing.

I Have the same problem, but I can't find the file, where is it?? I can just change the text size if someone tells me how to do it..

thats strange - my FL folder shows the fonts.ini .... if you don t have it... maybe you can create it i can mail you my fonts.ini later ( not now, i m in the university library right now ) - so you can simply copy it into there ... but if you don t have it at all... i m at a loss there...
the full directory path on my computer is: Freelancer/DATA/FONTS - in that folder there are two files: fonts.ini & rich_fonts.ini
the fonts.ini contains all the fonts and informations of the fonts used in the game ( menu, subtexts, hud etc ) - it was created when i install freelancer ( original version, non patched, non "gold" version )

EDIT: Nevermind, I have it, but it's just a bunch of Binary code..
EDIT2: At the end of the Binary code, it has some stuff, but I don't want to mess with it..
