Simple: Enlarging Text
This entry is part 2 of 11 in the series Mac Accessibility 101

The keystroke ⌘+ (in other words command and shift and equals at the same time) will enlarge the text size in many OS X applications. If you’re using Safari to read this, try typing it now – the text on the web page should get bigger.
