I accidentally found this simple tip. To enlarge the text in any browser, if you have a mouse wheel, hold down the Control key and move the wheel. The text will increase or decrease depending on which way you scroll.

[robg adds: It seems this functionality varies by browser, and probably also by whose mouse driver software you're using. With my Microsoft IntelliMouse, it only works as described in Camino. In Firefox, it's Command and the scroll wheel, and I can't make Safari or OmniWeb do anything. I didn't test the other OS X browsers...]
