Hi Phill,
In Firefox or Chromium you can hold ctrl and use the mousewheel to alter
the font size and scale images proportionately, however it that brings
the width of the page wider than your physical screen you will be
horizontally scrolling to read it.
The font size on the wiki and various other Ubuntu web properties is
known to be excessively small and to add to the problem it tends to be
dark grey on light grey, reducing contrast from a plain black on white.
The problem is that the font sizes are specified in the web design
guidelines as a particular number of pixels and the foreground and
background colours are specified the same place and there is a fixed
width for the content so it won't reflow the text. There has been talk
of installing a specific theme for accessibility, or turning on a
feature to allow users to select in their preferences an additional
stylesheet in addition to the current theme.
The various bugs are filed in the ubuntu-website project and tagged a11y
and light-wiki
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bugs?field.tag=light-wiki
and if there is anything that bothers you and isn't in the current bug
list then please file a new one here

Hiyas,
oh, you will be so sorry for saying that. As a part of the
Accessibility project, I cannot select nor alter the font size on the
wiki pages. A case in hand is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SpeechControl,
whilst I would seek a long term goal of putting on the control flags
as per http://forum.phillw.net/index.php whereby the 'A' has an up and
down arrow to increase / decrease font size, it is only a case of
copying over the CSS file and altering the font size. (I know, I was
asked to make my large font LARGE). Whilst they are thinking of that
could you ask if we could have a define of font / font size?
Thanks,
Phill.
P.S. May I also wish you a and your family a Very Merry Christmas, and
a Great 2011.
