[SOLVED] Increasing Font Size

Hey, I can't seem to figure out how to get larger text for my 63 year-old eyes! I remember that Windows had a way to do this, but I can't see how to do it in Zorin.
The text for the forum here is perfect. How can I get larger fonts in general? On Firefox, I can hit the plus sign in options, but I have to do it every time.

Hi, Not having a working Zorin at moment you need to have either gnome-tweak-tool installed or dconf-tools (which creates dConf Editor in System Tools) installed via the terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and enter:

Code:: sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Code:: sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Thanks Sawrf, the gnome tweak tool worked. I still have the problem of the weird color change I accidentally caused. Still working on that one. Not sure if the second tool you mentioned will help that, but I'll try it.
