Can the font size be modified/increased for the various game screens or are there any mods that do so ?

Tough to read for these old eyes .....

In the game, under PREFS, Gfx and Resolution, you can scale things.

Yes, that will scale all the graphics together, not just the fonts - that's what I do for my "old guy eyes".
I don't recall seeing a way of scaling just text.

Right, the fonts. There is a font directory. Go to Graphic mods and look for Simple Font Enhancement thread.

One thing you can try is to copy the 'Arial' font file & rename it 'small5'.
Back up & replace the original 'small5' font file with this new one.
The font files are located in the main directory/fonts folder.
Depending on your resolution & screen size, this could help.

Thanks, that helps ...

This and other QOL features should be worked into the game options. That would add some slick polish to the game.
