Not really. How do I set up or enable compiz (if I even wanted it) if I
can't read the screen's 9point low contrast fonts?

As I travel this earth I continue to be amazed at peoples' fascination
with tiny fonts. Perhaps that's to pack more stuff on the screen. But
then they go on to make the text low contrast in the name of "pretty",
thereby locking out those who can't correct to 20/20. And just to rub
salt in the wounds, they always make their tiny black background
terminals transparent, so random noise can confuse further.
