I feel your pain, mate. It's all for the wind-up, even though Google Translate isn't co-operating most of the time. :)

You can use the size tags to reduce or enlarge posted text. Placing [ size=29 ] before and [ /size ] after your text (less those spaces inside the brackets) produces this:

The smallest size allowed here is 1 (looks like dust on the screen!), to a maximum of 29.

WP implements a basic functionality set of BBCode (the formatting tags) and other implementations of the forum software will allow for right-hand alignment through additional tags - but this sort of thing tends to be pretty open-ended and requires hand-tweaking of the software. Some even allow stuff like blinking, invisible, strike-through and font selection but that's getting a little too fancy, I think!

A list of what's supported on WP beyond bold, italic and underline is available here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp640321.html#640321
