Change the size of a Swing checkbox

Question

I am trying to make the checkbox bigger. It looks smaller according to the text. How can I do that?

My code looks like this:

JCheckBox checkBox = new JCheckBox(new VisibleAction(name,renderer,i));
checkBox.setSelected(true);
renderer.setSeriesVisible(i, true);
checkBox.setFont(controlPanelFont);
