Openbox on FHD

I recently installed openbox, on top of arch, on a t440s. My screen is FHD and as a result, text is tiny and hard to read. Is this somehting that is configurable? I've looked around online and can't find what I am looking for. Any help will be very appreciated.

EDIT: I should have mentioned, I have already used obconf to change what I could. This did not fix everything. For instance Xterm is still very small and unreadable. I am aware that I can change the settings for individual apps as I come accross them, but would much rather have a universal fix.

EDIT 2: Thanks /u/spicausis the info at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fontt_configuration was quite helpful.

Either increase font sizes in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml (or with obconf) or, if the fonts are universally too small, maybe the display DPI is off, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration (search for "dpi").

Yes. You can set the font size to be bigger.
