Using Outlook 2016, I tried to change the default font that shows up when you view tasks in one of the views. When I choose "Customize current view", I can only find a way to change the font for column & row headings, not the actual entries.
This is what I mean:

I would like to change the font of each of these entries to something smaller & not bold. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you in advance,
 
Thank you very much!! I see that my problem lies elsewhere. I have 2 machines: XP & Win10 using 1 monitor. I copy my outlook.pst back & forth between the 2 machines when I change one. However, the spacing is different on both machines. The the view of the task list is different on both machines & I had thought it was because I was using different font. However, it seems that I have to look into either the resolution or the size of my respective Outlook windows.
 
Outlook 2003. But I just checked my resolution on each machine:
Win10 is 1920x1080
WinXP is 1440x900

Not sure why I set it up that way, but the items display is smaller (e.g. desktop icons & their description) on Win10.
 
The monitor and video card have a big effect on the resolution - you can adjust it to some degree, but have some limits. Higher resolution = smaller icons and text. You can make them larger by changing the display %, but its usually best to stay within 25% of the recommended display %.
