I was able to solve the problem by creating a new file,
$HOME/.idle
and putting the following lines into it:
[EditorWindow]
font-name= courier
font-size= 14
Your help gave me the pointer I needed.

Just a RTFM :o)
Form the IDLE Help :

To change the font on Windows, open EditorWindow.py and change

This is not clearly indicated but this works with Unix too !
"lucida console", 10 is perfect to me but you may prefer another monotype
font available to your system.
Note : this has no connection with KDE since IDLE is not a KDE app.

Please forgive me if this is FAQ, but I haven't been able to find the
answer.
When I run IDLE on WIN98, it looks great. But when I run it under KDE,
the type size is too small for my old eyes.
