Change Font size of player links- resources, glossary, etc.?

I can't seem to find a way to change the font size of player dropdown links when placed on the top bar of the player - Resources, Glossary, Transcript, Menu, etc.
There's no option in the Player configurations that I can find.
In the story_content output folder I've looked at the 'frame.xml' file which contains all the player settings. The only reference to font size is toward the bottom:
...
<resource_data description="<p align='left'><font face='Gill Sans MT Std Medium' size='11' color='#444444'>Here are some useful links and documents:</font></p>"/>
<transcript_data />
<glossary_data />
</bwFrame>
Changing the "size" from 11 to anything larger doesn't seem to have any affect.
Ideas?

You cannot do it, I built a 1440/1080 course for interactive whiteboards and the built in menu, notes were unreadable so I ended up building them separately as layers
Not what I wanted to hear. :(
I love to be the bearer of bad news!
Sorry wasn't what I needed to know either , it meant coming up with a new way of showing slide notes!
Hi, not sure if you would have the answer to this..is it possible to underline the link on the player. For example, Glossary, Notes, Outline?
Thank you for any suggestions

Hey Roger, right now there isn't an option to apply special formatting or other text changes to the player tabs in Storyline. Feature requests are welcome though!
Thank you Jeanette,
I will submit a feature request.

Hi Leanna,
Depending on your level of comfort with coding, you could use the Storyline SDK that was recently released, but there is not a feature within the player itself to change the font size.
Sounds great Leanna! Thanks for the update and welcome to E-Learning Heroes
Why is the Storyline SDK not available on your website (but GitHub instead)? Where are the instructions for downloading and using the toolkit - is it truly supported by Articulate?
Hi Debra and welcome to Heroes!
The Storyline SDK is linked on our site here. You'll need Flash coding skills to use the SDK. If you need help, we recommend posting in our SDK forum to connect with other developers.
