There is no way to modify the default font size from the user interface, so you will need to customise Confluence's CSS manually. This can be modified in your Confluence install directory under \confluence\WEB-INF\classes\styles\site-css.vm

The first entry is:

body, p, td, table, tr, .bodytext, .stepfield {
	font-family: Verdana, arial, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
	line-height: 16px;
	color: #000000;
	font-weight: normal;
}

By changing the value of the font-size field, you will be able to increase or decrease the base font size shown in the browser.

You do not need to make changes in \confluence\WEB-INF\classes\styles\site-css.vm.
You may also change font size by overwriting the css in main.vmd. This could be more comfortable.

Just insert in main.vmd direct after

    1. HTML HEADER ENDS

the lines:

<style type="text/css">
body, p, td, table, tr, .bodytext, .stepfield

Unknown macro: { font-family}

</style>

This is very unfriendly, and un-Section-508.... The way Confluence is setup, using your browser's setting for View -> Text Size -> Smallest....Largest has absolutely no effect on the pages. This is a real violation of web page accessibility etiquette. Personally I like small fonts, but there are many of the users of our wiki who are being driven to abuse h3. and h4. to get larger font text on their pages.
