I realize that this thread is over three months old, but it's the first result in a google for "xosd font size", so I figured I'd go ahead and respond with the answer.
In this example, the 160 is the size specification. That being said, I have it currently set to 160 in the audacious xosd plugin, and it doesn't seem to change. I think it's a problem with the plugin, though... I'm really not sure about that one.
I realize that this thread is over three years old, but it's still the first result in a google for "xosd font size", so I figured I'd go ahead and respond with a better answer.
use the program "xfontsel" to see the values that you can use
It's simple to use and most of you should be able to figure it out.
