I never use zoom except in those rare situations when I can't read the
text. Then it's arguable whether everything should be zoomed or just the
text. To my mind, there should be "quick preferences" for both, which
should, of course, work properly. In lieu of that, I'd much prefer a text-
zoom over an overall-zoom.
