I am using xfce now and I had the same problem when I was using kde. The text in yast is hard to read because it’s very small. How do I increase text size in yast?
Hard to tell when we don’t know which interface you’re using, i.e. the QT version or the GTK version

QT 4.8.6
I figured it out. I fixed it.

You did? How? I’ve long wondered why YaST seemed impervious to any
changes of font size via System Settings – Application Appearance.

System settings is for the system not the user. In the case of yast root is the user. As a rule you should not log into a GUI as root but in this case you canto just set the root preferences ten get out. You can inadvertently damage stuff if you run a GUI as root so only do what you need then bail. Not you can also do it by editing the .kde4 config files in /root if you know which ones. If KDE you can become root ins a konsole (su - note minus) and run systemsettings. Which should allow the root’s user setting to be changed

Being pointed in the right direction on here I was able to do it in the Settings Manger. It seems I have QT4 and GTK and found that GTK was the one handling this. It depends on which GUI you are using. If you are using XFCE 4.10 like I am, you go into your Settings Manger and click on Appearance and select Fonts, then click on the bar right below where it says Default Fonts and a box should open which you then select a higher number in size to your liking. Then close it. I hope this helps you. Let me know.

A better way is to use:
/Code:
kdesu systemsettings
