How about all the computer programs and graphic displays that only allow

That's why Windows and browsers allow for different font sizes.
I'll leave doing the Internet via cell phone to kids who can -see-
that little 3.4" screen. Sheesh!

I use those all the time. But the color schemes, font choices, graphic
design, etc. make it very difficult to read. And many web sites "lock in" a
tiny font size. They will not allow you to change the font size. I was at
the library the other day and printed out something that a friend requested.
The print was so tiny, we could not read with a magnifying glass! And there
was no way that the text could be made bigger, either on the screen or
printed.

And all these web pages that are barely visible. White background with very
pale blue fonts? Or pale yellow fonts?? The list goes on.

Bad design. But read the docs on your browser to see how to set
defaults.

CTRL+ makes 'em bigger and CTRL- makes 'em smaller, at least for mozilla
products, chrome, and apparently even IE.

In LibreOffice and OpenOffice, view-zoom and select variable and then a
percentage.
