This extension adds the ability to increase or decrease the font size of a defined content area, with the use of two simple and easy to identify buttons that make changing sizes easy and fast. Instead of having to tweak browser settings or mess with keyboard demands, visitors can simply click on the available buttons for easier reading. Limiting the size manipulation to a certain area (the extension also lets you set a maximum and minimum size range) means nearby design elements can retain their look while the visitor adjusts their own browsing experience. I like adding this option to the majority of sites I produce, as I think it helps send a positive, welcoming message to visitors. The extension also comes with a special cookie creating utility, which will save the size preferences of a user and automatically display text accordingly whenever they drop by. Working with the extension is fairly simple, with a bit of extra uploading and file modification involved that nevertheless doesn't create a time crunch. Font Magnify's price is reasonable given its widespread utility; this is an extension without which I wouldn't want to turn out new sites.
