<title>Using Large Fonts</title>
<p>The simplest way to make text bigger on the screen (including all applications) is to use large fonts. This may be done by modifying the system’s Font properties. </p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>System</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Appearance</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select <guiseq><gui>Font</gui></guiseq>. The <gui>Font tab</gui> lists the configuration settings for the system font options. </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>To change the size of the font for any of the options provided, click on the button that corresponds to that particular option. This brings up the Pick a Font window. </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Under the box labeled Size, type in the font size in the field or select a font size from the options provided. </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click the <gui>Ok</gui> button to go back to the Font Preferences page and then click <gui>Close</gui>.</p>
</item>

<title>Modifying the Screen Resolution</title>
<steps>

</item>
<item>
<p>Click on the <gui>Apply</gui> button.</p>
</item>
