The steps to change font size are dependent on what type display your Mac has.  This link How to Increase All System Font Size in Mac OS X has directions on changing font sizes on a Mac.

Pressing CTRL and PLUS SIGN should increase the font size in both the Online version and Desktop version. 

You can decrease the size of the font by pressing CTRL and MINUS SIGN

That tip does increase the size of the print on the screen. I'm not at home, so can't check - will this also increase the font size when I print? For some reason, one year of the return prints a lot lighter than the other, even though the settings are the same for both returns.  Any advice?

I have vision issues and find it very hard to read the light gray print on a dark background.  The best contrast is bright yellow on a dark background.   I can't be the only person with this issue.  I saw 2 previous posts from June 2019 - has anything been done to allow us to change the color of the font??

the Plus and Minus keys don't seem to work on the MAC desktop version of the software  using the Control or Command keys. (for 2019 taxes)

Is there a different solution?

There should also be a menu option to increase and decrease the font size.

Using Control and + does not make the font larger.  And if you select Learn More for an item it looks like Times New Roman font and it is extremely hard to read, it is too busy.  Please offer different fonts and sizes under the Edit or View like most programs do.

Control and plus do nothing.
