<br />
You can with text-based subtitle formats.<br />
<br />
Go to '''Tools -> Preferences (set Show Settings to All) and Video -> Subtitles/OSD -> Text renderer''' and adjust anything you want. Font size in pixels overrides Relative font size selection.<br />
<br />
Remember to press '''Save''' to save VLC settings and restart VLC after that to make sure changes are enabled.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''For advanced users on <big>Mac OSX</big> only:''' <br />
<br />
You may change the font directly on the preferences file, located at '''/Users/vivec/Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc/vlcrc''' <br />
<br />
*Quit VLC.<br />
<br />
*Look for property named '''freetype-rel-fontsize''' (usually on line 1938). <br />
<br />
'''Remember: smaller value is bigger font.''' <br />
<br />
*Enter VLC to see changes take effect<br />
