Hello, Charlie.
do you use any screen magnification on your Linux distribution? If in
Ubuntu's Unity you can make use of the Compiz eZoom plugin (which I
would often rely on under Unity), and under GNOME Shell, there is a
great built-in magnifier which can greatly magnify the screen (even more
than the eZoom plugin).
I am planning on writing a blog entry pretty soon on how to get
magnification up and running under both Unity and GNOME Shell.
Unfortuantely, I do not think that a magnifier exists for the GNOME
Fallback Session at this time.
If this could be of help to you please let me know, and I will try to
write back with teh steps to set up zooming keys. Just please let me
know which desktop environment you use. There is also a Zoom feature
under KDE as well which works pretty well.
I hope that I can be of some help to you.
Take care.

I am a user of Google+. The developers just made recent changes to
this, which resulted in my being unable to use the site. I have some
visual issues, requiring larger than normal fonts. My desktop is
usually started with changing the DPI to 145. That grows the fonts
nicely. Then, in my web browser, I set the minimum fonts to 20. That
makes a lot of websites readable. It also makes a lot of web pages
written badly unreadable.
When I contacted Google developers about the issues with the google+
site, they offered the only solution they have at this time. Switch to
Chrome Browser, which appears to zoom text better than firefox.
This seems more like Microsoft than open source to me, and I was hoping
someone might have a better answer for reading web pages that fail to
appear readable.
