5. Screen Magnifiers

Screen magnifiers are just what they sound like, programs that considerably magnify portions of the computer screen so it can be more easily read.

5.1. KMagnifier

In KDE, KMagnifier, or KMag, magnifies the area around the cursor or a user-defined area. You can also save a magnified portion of the screen to disk. Additional information can be found at http://kmag.sourceforge.net/

5.1.1. Installing KMagnifier

In Fedora, KMagnifier is packaged in the kdeaccessibility package. This package also contains kmousetool, kmouth, and ktts, all of which are discussed in other areas of this guide. To install kdeaccessibility you can either select System > Administration > Add/Remove Software and then type in kdeaccessibility in the screen that pops up or in a terminal window type su -c "yum install kdeaccessibility".
