Hope this is a simple one. How can I change the display font in the Matlab windows? I have limited vision and can't read them very well.

I hope you will file this as a bug report with TMW. They really should think about the accessibility of there software.
You can read about how to set preferences here:
I hope there web site is accessible.
If the default font isn't too small, you can set the preferences with File>Preferences and then select fonts in the dialog.
There might be a command line way of doing it, but I do not know it.
You can also probably edit the preference file manually. My preference file (Linux) is matlab.prf.
The default 10 point font is: Desktop.Font.Code=F0 13 Monospaced
A 24 point font is: Desktop.Font.Code=F0 32 Monospaced
A 48 point font is: Desktop.Font.Code=F0 64 Monospaced
48 point is the largest you can select from the dialog.
