OSX has a general screen magnifier. Turn it on in the System Preferences
under Accessibility and then Zoom. Usual thing is to hold down control
and do a two-finger stroke up and down to increase/decrease zoom on a
trackpad or control+roller-wheel on a mouse with one of those. There are
a bunch of options to play with like adding zoom in/out keystrokes and
having the zoom area follow keyboard focus.

largeing menues. But if you get zXoomtext that will do the trick.

not the menus.

I've not played with it, as I'm a Voiceover user as well, but what
about Zoom? I believe you can configure what it enlarges and when, and
control the zoom level on the fly. Have a look: System Preferences >
Accessibility > Zoom.

Hi all!
A friend of mine has a mac and is slowly loosing vision. He has
figured
out how to make the text larger but not the menus and icons. Is
there a way
to do this? I'm strictly a voiceover user and not sure what to
tell him.
Thanks in advance.
Jim
