Download "Advanced Settings" from Software Center. Text scaling factor is under Fonts.

You can also use dconf but it's a little more convoluted. Advanced Settings allows you to also change your font type as well.

Hi Chris,

you can also do it with:

Change global font size:
Dconf Editor > Org > Gnome > Desktop > Interface > Text-scaling-factor 1.0 (1.0 = font size 10. and 1.1 would be font size 11 and so on) (Mine is set to 1.2 = Font size 12)

Are you using Zorin 6 or Zorin 5 or maybe even Zorin 6 Lite, please let us know as there is no reason why it shouldn't work assuming you have done all necessary updates!!.

Your screenshot is of "Gconf-Editor" not Dconf Editor!!!. You are using Zorin 5
Screenshotfrom2012-09-13163911.png

So the route is "Gconf editor > Apps > Gnome > Nautilus > Icon View (I think)

You can also right click the desktop and go to preferences then a window will open like this:

With which you can adjust the font sizes.

And please stop posting the same questions in various threads, the next time I see one; I will delete it without warning!!!.

An example:
