How to CHANGE (in a permanent way) FONT (and SIZE) in Finder columns ?

Question

Hello dear friends,
How I can change the font (and also its size) of text in Finder Window columns ?
A condensed font would allow seeing more text (for example, Helvetica Condensed Light).
Does anybody have an idea ?
Thank you very much for responding.
With my kind regards

I always have to CTRL-click at the bottom of columns to resize them,
and I have to do it every time a new Finder window opens …
*It's the same problem, as I need to see and read more text.*
I think I'm not alone to wish that …

Sorry, you can't. Apple provides no method of changing the system font away from Lucida Grande. TinkerTool will let you change some fonts, but only affects applications written in Cocoa. It cannot change the system font.

Hold down the Command+Option keys. Click and hold the mouse button on the bottom of any column where you see the little double vertical lines. Drag left or right to change all columns at once to the same size. I'm pretty sure this is on a window by window basis, so you'd have to do it for each one you want to change, including open and save dialogue boxes. But once set, that window will remember your settings.
