Maybe a goal for the future would be to make effective use of compiz for
this type of stuff. For example:

When I use magnifier I get very frustrated because the usability of the
screen overall is poor, though it does make it easier to read text. So a
solution is to use a more normal sized font and screen resolution and then
use windows key+mouse wheel to zoom in on text or details.

So if a person wanted things to be bigger, they could be given an option
instead of font sizes that effectively zooms using compiz. Then, when they
needed to see the big picture, they could use the win+mouse wheel to go out.

Yes, I know, its very rough. But it could work. Think of the iphone and the
pinch feature.
