Well, the font-size is definitely to small! While I understand that you want 
to fit as many controls on screen as you can, why can't you use a floating 
layout where elements are ordered with respect to their and their neighbors 
size? That would allow variable font-sizes.

And maybe use a good looking toolkit. Gui's like that are the reason that many 
people say that linux is old and don't want to switch. Take a look at KDE4: 
Linux is actually sexy. Now compare that to your screenshot...

You might also want to switch to a toolkit that supports font-anti-aliasing. 
(Which is not a new technology, but has been around in Linux for almost ten 
years.)
