In Control Panel - Display - Settings page, click Advanced abd adjust
the DPI setting down - that sets the number of dots of he screen that is
regarded as being an inch, so a lower number means things (not just
fonts) get smaller. Use Custom and select 75% (72 DPI)
Make sure you can live with the result for other purposes.

You might do better to run the program in a Compatibility mode. Start -
All Programs - Accessories - Program Compatibility Wizard. Point at the
Program and maybe set to use compatibility for Win98 will be enough;
maybe it will need also to choose 640x480 resolution, which ought to run
it without messing up everything else by having an unsuitable DPI
