You don't said what version of Revit are you working...

 In 2011 you change them in the "Options" like you can see in the image attached...

In 2010 you must follow this:

1. Open Revit.ini file in Notepad. The file is typically located in C:\Program Files\Revit Structure 2008\Program.
2. Add the following line to Revit.ini in [Graphics] section:

   TempDimFontSizeInPoints=N

   Where N is a number larger than 8 (default hardcoded value). Good starting point is twice the default size (i.e. 16-17).
3. Save Revit.ini.
4. Restart Revit. If the size of temporary dimensions is still small, repeat from step 1 with larger number.

Please note, the [Graphics] section may not exist. If this is the case add a line that contains [Graphics].

here you have the original post: http://bimandbeam.typepad.com/bim_beam/2007/08/how-to-adjust-t.html
