Hi Phill,
In Firefox or Chromium you can hold ctrl and use the mousewheel to alter 
the font size and scale images proportionately, however it that brings 
the width of the page wider than your physical screen you will be 
horizontally scrolling to read it.
The font size on the wiki and various other Ubuntu web properties is 
known to be excessively small and to add to the problem it tends to be 
dark grey on light grey, reducing contrast from a plain black on white. 
The problem is that the font sizes are specified in the web design 
guidelines as a particular number of pixels and the foreground and 
background colours are specified the same place and there is a fixed 
width for the content so it won't reflow the text. There has been talk 
of installing a specific theme for accessibility, or turning on a 
feature to allow users to select in their preferences an additional 
stylesheet in addition to the current theme.
The various bugs are filed in the ubuntu-website project and tagged a11y 
and light-wiki

and if there is anything that bothers you and isn't in the current bug 
list then please file a new one here
