I have a customer who is quite old. While he loves his Mac he does find the text quite small. As a result he has set his text options in apps to display larger font sizes, which works well, where it works, however he does find that many parts of the OS have type in fonts that he finds hard to read. He knows about the option in UNiversal Access to zoom the screen, and he can set his screen to a lower resolution, but both these options lack finesse and are clumsy in daily use.

Is there any way to make type (such as Safaris bookmarks) to display in a larger size?

Is screen resolution really a clumsy option? Seems like it is set once and then everything is permanently larger.

I think it is. It looks like crap when a LCD isn't in native resolution.

Whatever happened to "resolution independence"?
