While developing forms in InfoPath, it is likely that you will one day need a label for a check box or an option button that uses a font size other than the default 10pt. Using a different font size will make the control simply not look right next to the label. Luckily these controls are resizable (this is true for both V1 and SP1).

Using a larger font size is fairly straight forward: it's just a matter of finding the correct control size. But using a smaller font size can start shifting the control around and out of place. This is easily corrected by adjusting the margins on the control.

You can see these techniques demonstrated in my example form: Rightsizing Check Boxes and Option Buttons. Also, the following table lists good control sizes for the InfoPath's standard font sizes.
