Comment 19 for bug 603415

I can confirm the problem. One of my colleagues has worthening vision problems. Specialists send by the "sécurité sociale" speak of using ZoomText (http://www.aisquared.com/zoomtext/more/zoomtext_magnifier) which is a paying Windows only application...
Turning to my LUG, I've been sent to kwin zoom mode (kde), gnome3 accessibility zoom. But no solution for Unity. Well, my colleague will probably switch to another environment, but this should definitely be addressed (not to mention cases where such features must be compulsory to compete in some gov calls for tender).
My two cents...
