MFZoom is a system extension that increases the menu and window title font size to 14pt. This is useful for big screen monitor users and those who have to squint to see the normal menu font.
Using MFZoom:
There’s no trick to it, just toss it in your extension folder and restart your mac.
MFZoom will work fine in any application and will increase the font size of ANY STANDARD menu (Including those in standard get file dialogs). It will NOT however affect applications that have their own menu definitions.
NOTE: There is one minor glitch that I have not been able to fix. The menus in the Finder (especailly the Label menu) scroll even though there is ample of space. This is because the Finder loads before MFZoom gets to alter its menus and the Finder does not recalculate its menus. This can be eliminated by pressing Command-Option-Esc and “resetting” the Finder. I will try to fix this in later versions.
Version history:
1.0:
• This was an application program that had to be put into the Startup items folder to be used.
2.0:
• MFZoom is now an INIT which is much more convenient to use.
• Since it is now an INIT, the menu font will always remain 14pt unlike version 1.0 where the font used to go back to the standard size when an application with a custom menu definition was run.
