No, it's not that. It's for all text on the screen, not just chat.
I have an inkling that it's to do with the way Freelancer rescales the HUD and everything else necessary to run at widescreen resolutions. So, if the code or whatever was able to ignore rescaling the font size, that might be the right solution.
Edit: some content ninja'd.
While this update is nice overall, I'm not going to utilise it because the oversized font is just too painful to read :\
