You can enlarge text, at least in Firefox, pressing (Ctrl)+(+) keys, and decrease with (Ctrl)+(-) keys.
This will apply to the whole page.

The exact same keys in Internet Explorer give a Zoom in and out. Or you can change the text size from "Medium" to "Larger" or "Largest," by going to the Page menu in the top right, then Text Size.

Also, for reading text on your PC, but outside of your browser, you can try using the built-in Magnifier program from Microsoft. On XP, its at: Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Accessibility -> Magnifier. You can also increase the system font size. Open the control panel, clikc on Display, select the Appearance tab, and then select a larger font size from the drop-down selection box.
Similar software and other aids are available. Google "Low Vision Aids".
