Is it the SIZE of the text that is worrying you?  There are an alarming 
number of places where sizes can be misconfigured.  If it is just the 
size of the fonts used for rendering web pages, then try 
<control><shift><plus>.  Most browers will make things bigger (for that 
one page) with some similar key combination.  

There are lots of things to try, if you want.
