In case you prefer it simple and are willing to slightly deviate from
your goal, you could also start the emulator with e.g. --zoom 1.5
parameter, which will scale all screen output by factor 1.5. Resulting
in a slightly more blurry screen, but if your goal was to increase the
font size because you cannot read the small one on your hi-dpi screen,
it probably does not matter.

Alternatively, as Colby told, you can increase only the font size within
the Oberon System (regardless of emulator used) by either replacing the
default font tile or editing the font name in Fonts.Mod and recompiling
that module (not the whole system required). That way, other UI elements
(like mouse pointer or scrollbars) will keep their size and you won't
have any blurry screen.
