How do you make the text on a monitor larger?

Today I made a shop on my tekkit classic server and I made a large screen with a computer. My friend set it up so the text displays on the monitor, but I noticed the text is extremely small. I have seen Youtube videos with the text huge, and I asked my friend how to get it similar to that so people could actually read the text on the huge screen from a distance… He said it was possible but he didn't want to do it, and then he left. He didn't tell me and I dunno how to program larger text in. Any help? http://imgur.com/iHDX3uP

Sorry for the link, forum badly converted the address (that ")" should be in the link too) and I cannot use the form "manager" or sth as I am on an android device

term in case that program was run using the premade monitor program

Google is the same

Anyway thx for correction!
