I needed to see such tiny numbers just today, just the four of them in the tiny box. So I pressed C-+ a few times to _make_ the text huge, obtained my information, and returned to my normal text size with C--. Perfect. Usually all I need to know is that I have a character for which I don't have a glyph, but this time I wanted to record the number because I was testing things rather than reading the text. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
