You can't.
'text size' is not a property of the Finder's list view options.
If you look at the Finder's dictionary you'll find the only 'list view
options' you can change are:
calculates folder sizes boolean -- Are folder sizes calculated and
displayed in the window?
icon size small icon/large icon -- the size of icons displayed in the
list view
sort column column -- the column that the list view is sorted on
uses relative dates boolean -- Are relative dates (e.g., today,
yesterday) shown in the list view?
Tantalizingly enough the Finder's Preferences property contains the gem:
view font size integer -- the size of the font used in Finder views
which might get your hopes up. However the entire preferences class is
defined as:
>Class preferences: (NOT AVAILABLE, SUBJECT TO CHANGE) The Finder Preferences
Which makes you wonder why it's in the dictionary at all.
In any case, you can't get there from here. Maybe <urgh> using UI scripting,
but I wouldn't like to try.
