Font size

Not sure if this has been discussed before or if its an existing feature of Rockbox...

but it would be great if we could increase the size of the font/text as this would make it easier to read.

thanks!

Take a look at the manual under Theme Settings, specifically the Font section:

Select a bigger font.  Make sure to install the font pack first, and you'll probably want to change to a theme designed for the bigger font.  See the theme site.

You may also want to try the antialiased-fonts patch, the converted truetype fonts, at relatively-high sizes, are usually much nicer and easier to read than the normal bitmap fonts.
