Magnify/reduce screen font size for sight challenged people

I know that there is a key combination that will increase & decrease font size on screen. Kind of a zoom in - zoom out. Can blow it up real large for those who are sight challenged and then back it down to normal viewing. Anyone know the magic key combo?


Thanks,

System Preferences, Mouse, Zoom using <key>. Hold down the key you choose, and scroll up or down with a touchpad ot a mouse-wheel.


The entire screen will be zoomed and somewhat invisible, but the mouse-pointer pushed to the visible scrren edge will move across the "invisible" part of the screen.
