You can change the color/font properties for all labels in a particular 
view manager (e.g. map display) through the View->Properties menu.  For
a particular display, you can change the color through the 
Edit->Display List Color menu, but not the font.  The idea was that
the font/size would be the same for all display list labels in a
view manager, but that the user might want to change the individual
colors for each label. 

Are you wanting to have different font/sizes for different labels?  If
so, can you give me a use case for this?

Thanks.
