    I know this post is at least 5 years old, but THANK YOU for asking this question! I had the exact same problem happen to me, and after a morning of difficulty with Lightroom was ready to chuck my computer out the window.  Johnrellis reply with link to the Lightroom Queen worked for me.

    I believe the only option you have in Lightroom CC is to change the text size in the preferences:

    So far this also appears to be the only option for Lightroom Classic as well.

    Why not put a scroll in all the dialogue boxes?

    Thanks

    Actually it was my windows task bar hiding the Restart Lightroom button. My moving the task bar I was able to restart Lightroom and thus reset the font size down to Medium.

    First, click the shortcut to launch Lightroom.

    Then, immediately press and hold Alt + Shift until the the Reset preferences dialog appears.
