ctrl-+ does not increase font size in the file menu. Try it. Icons get bigger, font size remains the same. If you can find a way to increase the font size, even with unity-tweak-tool, I'll eat my hat.

The second example is used by people who play video games all the time. People do it for skype/ventrilo calls during gaming sessions constantly. It may not be a common use for _for you_ but it is not as rare as you appear to think.

You want to change your gui window fonts right? On XFCE you type appearance into the whisker menu and go to the fonts tabs. I'd never wanted to do this before but it took all of 10 seconds to figure it out. No idea how to do it on windows/unity/osx etc but I'm sure I could figure it out within a similar time.
