You can change the text side as well by going to the "Page" tab and click on the arrow, which drops the menu down, and in the third group of commands about 3/4 of the way down the menu, you'll see "Text size" and a side arrow, click the side arrow and another menu box pops up beside it with the choices, usually set to "smaller" or "medium" as the browser default. I usually click "larger" for most pages and it will enlarge the text without actually zooming in on the page-- which is nice because zooming widens the frame beyond the borders of your monitor screen and requires you to constantly slide the frame back and forth to see the text since it runs off the side of the screen. Enlarging the text keeps the window frame the exact same size and simple enlarges the text, so it shortens the sentences but makes the paragraphs longer, so they all still fit within the same frame.
Works like a champ! I use it all the time on websites like nasaspaceflight.com/forums because their font is VERY small and I don't like it... makes for VERY tiring reading! I think virtually ALL text should really be larger on the internet-- makes for less eyestrain and easier reading. My pet peeve is when people choose extremely "busy" backgrounds that make reading the overlying text nearly impossible, or overly complicated webpage designs that take forever to load or work with, or is too "busy" on the screen to make heads or tails of... and ESPECIALLY when people choose a LOW CONTRAST between their background and their text, which can make reading the text nearly impossible... red text on a black field or yellow text on a red background or green text on blue is usually EXTREMELY difficult to read and tends to "run together" or look smudged... Thank goodness this is white text on a dark blue background... high contrast between the text and background is a GOOD thing!!! Later! OL JR

Or you can just hit CTRL and spin your mouse wheel....or the + or - key. It's a lot simpler to do and to explain.

If you like wasting time scrolling endlessly back and forth when you zoom in on the page to enlarge the text... The other way ONLY enlarges the text-- NO SCROLLING (except down of course). Later! OL JR

I wanna say Firefox has a similar config option, but I can't find it in the menus right now. [Edit: It's in the View menu: View>Zoom>Zoom Text Only .] Either way, I prefer to scale only the text, and that's what my Firefox setup does. Doug .

I have a Mac running Safari and that just makes everything (as in the whole screen) to zoom in. Maybe that only works on PCs?

I imagine it has more to do with Safari than the type of hardware. You can try holding the control key while hitting the plus or minus key and see if it acts differently than the scroll wheel, but I imagine it will do the same thing. According to a quick search, you have a menu tool for zooming text only. You can also install an extension called rightsizer that let's you right click the mouse for changes. Here's a description of it. Quote:
