What was the largest fontname you tried? I am running this on 5K Retina screen iMac, and this results in something pretty big.

afni -XXXfontA -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-m-200-iso8859-1

The "34" is the point size of the font in the command above. You can install additional fonts on your system if you don't have ones large enough. On a linux system, you can install font packages like xorg-x11-fonts-misc.

Other ways to change the size are to increase the size in the .Xdefaults file, change the X11 scaling with "xrandr -scale" on Linux systems to scale the image, or lower the display resolution with the preferences/settings panel of the operating system.

To change the default font in the .Xdefaults file in your home directory, create a ~/.Xdefaults file and insert a line like this one:

!! font to use in most widgets
AFNI*fontList: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-34-240-100-100-m-200-iso8859-1

!! Alternatives:
!! -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--34-240-100-100-m-200-iso8859-1
!! lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24=charset1
!! 9x15bold=charset1

This font is applied to most of the menu but not all of it. The XXXfontA,B,C options are more convenient ways to change all the fonts.
