You can edit/add styles and apply it to your content.

how?

If you want to apply it multiple times, it's better to add a class in your style.css file and put your custom style code there.

Ex:

in your style.css:

.MyCustomText
{
font-size:30px;
font-weight:bold;
}

inside your content:

<span class="MyCustomText">my text</span>

Note: When editing your content, make sure you have switched to HTML Code Editing.

One of the reasons I strongly prefer basic html sites vs Wordpress is WP being much more difficult and tedious to work with and code.

If you want to change the size of the whole text on pages/posts, dive into the style.css of the theme and find the parameter that defines it's size.

If you want to change the size of a particular word/phrase within the post/page, then you can follow kithkanan's advice and add a custom class into the theme's css file. After that, you need to edit your posts/pages from the "html edit mode" and apply the class to the text you need enlarged or so.

Also, if you define a new class for custom text, do not forget to define hyperlink properties as well, or your links will inherit the previous properties, which will make them bounce up and down because of the size change. I'm not a css expert of course, but I did some coding in the past.

You can also create / edit the posts in HTML mode and add your own <font> tags.

WP is flexible and you should know what the CSS or style sheet does and is.

You can reset defaults or customize just a certain segment.

Or, as drag mentioned, just edit the HTML vs Visual editor when you are creating a page.

Wordpress, in my opinion, is pretty much a basic HTML site broken down into components.

No matter how a site is constructed, if you want to change something you have to know where in the line of code it is and how to change it.
