I had to learn this too, its really easy. Might I suggest you only make one change at a time and then FTP it over and do a Browser Refesh to see what your change has affected.
Sometimes, you're not changing what you think you are and others times the change you made has an effect over other areas you didn't know it would or you even thought about. Its a trail and error experience.
the font family will be in style.css (found within your Theme files) and normally looks something like
font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
and the font size generally looks like this: font-size: 11px;
sometimes it might have an "em", a "%" instead of a "px"
you can also change line-height and font-weight
anytime you spend learning CSS is worth it. There are also some very good CSS education resources online to help wiht the learning curve
remember make small changes and review. The worse you have to do is reload your theme. If you're making a lot of changes make backups along the way so you can revert back to them if need be.
If you can, download one of those localhost/testing server thingys. (XAMPP (I think that's how it's spelled) is recommended. (Although I use YellowTips at home.) Then you can use a css editor (I use TopStyle Pro from Bradstreet (free trial period)) to make the changes.
One of the things I do when changing themes is, like jwells says, make one change at a time. If I don't know what a particular item is, I make it large. (5em instead of 1 so I can find it, or set the background to yellow or red to find containters and such.)
Overall, just play with it and have fun. Things will break, but you can fix them.

Edit the style.css included with the theme. The main fonts are defined in the body style.
