p1 = Plot[x^2-2x+1, {x,-2,3}, 
      DisplayFunction->Identity];

Show[p1, DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction,
    PlotLabel -> "Original Plot"];

Changing FontSize and FontWeight:

Show[p1, DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction,
    TextStyle-> {FontSize->12, FontWeight->"Bold"},
    PlotLabel -> "Changed Font Size and Weight"];

Also changing the length and thickness of the Ticks and using different style
for label

oldTicks= Ticks /. AbsoluteOptions[p1];

newTicks = oldTicks /. {
        {x_, 0.} -> {3/2x, 0},
        AbsoluteThickness[x_]->AbsoluteThickness[3/2x],
        x_?(Abs[Round[#]-#]<10^-10&) -> Round[x]};

Show[p1, Ticks -> newTicks, 
    DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction,
    TextStyle-> {FontSize->12, FontWeight->"Bold"},
    PlotLabel -> StyleForm["New Ticks and Label Style", 
        FontFamily->"Arial",FontSize->14, 
        FontSlant->"Italic", FontWeight->"Plain"]];

font size, and  the "Boldness" attribute.  Any simple example will do.   
I don't need to produce any new  tick marks than what the  default 
gives,   I just want them to appear more visible. >><BR><BR>
