Look under data/init/init.txt for GRAPHICS_FONT and GRAPHICS_FULLFONT.
(This isn't really a fortress mode question, though.)

The history of a good fortress is not written in blood, it's painted on the walls by the hand of a melancholy orphan.

Whatever you want. I usually go with 80x50, this way I get more view.

You can also resize your window with a mouse.

Is there a way to make it less ugly-sized?

I think the tilesets are fixed in size.  Look into getting a replacement tileset from:
http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Tileset_repository

Sadly, I don't know much more than that since I just run with the defaults.
(edit:  Didn't realize I quoted the image.  My bad.)

Just don't use the True Type font option for now...it makes the text wonderful looking and easier to read, but in the current version (31.25) there is a game-crashing bug that occurs when one of a small number of rare characters is displayed on the screen.
(I think it's supposed to be fixed in the next version, and is the feature I'm looking forward to most.)


I think there's a Curses 800x600 option, too; it may look better than 640x300.  (Not sure if the 800x600 was a special set I got from the Lazy Newb Pack download, or if it's default).
