The mac as a small init (things you put in your system folder, and they
startup by themself) called closeview wwhich does exactly what you want.
Apple distribute it with their system 6 release (you may have to use version
6 or hiher in order to use it.  6.0.2 is hout with no bugs :-)
You choose cloaseview from the contraol panel to specify the magnification
that you want (from 2 to 16).  At 16 the standard small letters (size 12)
appears to be about two inches big.  That you be plenty enough...

Anyway, let me know if you want me to send you a copy if you can't locate it,
and want to try it on a mac.

Hope this helped.
