When I have sequence diagram in enterprise architect and I change the text size marking everything with Crtl + A and the rightclicking and using appearance -> set font and changing the text size it only changes it in the class names. How can I change the text size of the messages so they are readable in a document?

Tough question, I failed to find the answer myself. There is no such setting also in "Tools > Options > Diagram > Sequence" and no simple answer in the help file. You can ask the Sparx Systems support and post the self-answer here

You should chip in with a feature request. Sparx is very resilient when it comes to such requests. But many bugs can chop a tree too.

I agree with Geert, I don't think it can be done either.
You can make certain changes to a connector label by right-clicking it. These changes include boldness and font color, but not font size or typeface.
The corresponding information is stored as a set of key/value pairs in the PDATA5 column of the t_connector table in the EA database (not the t_diagramlinks table where you'd normally expect visual information to go).
In this string, whose interpretation is not documented in the help file, you'll find BLD=1; etc, but nothing that looks like it refers to font size or typeface. Which means you can't change it by scripting either.
