Well, looking at the code (in Main.py of the Demo folder), it looks like 
the "Demo Code" panel uses the StyledTextCtrl_2 unless there's an import 
error at which it switches to using a standard TextCtrl. If you look at 
the demo for StyledTextCtrl_2, you'll notice that they set the size 
using the following (I think) on line 134:

self.StyleSetSpec(stc.STC_STYLE_DEFAULT,     
"face:%(helv)s,size:%(size)d" % faces)

I would think you could do the same. They continue using this command 
for quite a few lines after that too.

TextCtrls appear to have a SetStyle method in the demo. I've never done 
this before and it might only apply to the TextCtrls that have RichText 
style applied to them. But I think this will give you a starting place.
