Hello sague,

The Dock uses Lucida Grande, as does the rest of the OS for menus and most other dialogue boxes. As far as I've been able to see, there's no way to change the font or size used by the Dock.

Whatever you do, DON'T remove LucidaGrande.dfont from the hard drive in an attempt to make OS X use something else. Your Mac will not run or even boot up without it.
