You can hit Control + '+' and it will scale all font sizes up on Mozilla 
& Firefox. 

In Firefox you can install extensions that will enable you to add Zoom 
In, Zoom Out & Original Size buttons wherever you want on your toolbars:

Internet Explorer, being not particularly standards complaint, 
apparently renders fonts larger than most other browsers, and since they 
are the de facto standard, everything looks too small on most other 
browsers.

Windows has an Accessibility Wizard that enables you to dial in settings 
easily for folks with limited visual accuity.  Big fonts, high contrast, 
a magnifier bar that magnifies the area under your mouse.  I used them 
to set up my mother's box.  I guess Linux has a set of programs, as 
well, but I've never had cause to use them.
