Not the same as "on demand zooming", which let's one stick with a high, native resolution, but zoom in when required (e.g. websites with small text that can't be zoomed via browser's font size increase; e.g. referencing some UI stuff during UI design, without having to take a screenshot and pasting + zooming it in e.g. GIMP).

What? Strg + Mousewheel, you can even set the option to only zoom text. At least on firefox. No clue what kind of browser you are using which is not capable of that.

Yeah, that browser zoom. And I too used / use Firefox. I'm not saying these kind of sites are common, but nevertheless I've encountered them occasionally. Back then, the most pragmatic workaround was to use desktop zooming of Xfce.

My intention on the previous comment was simply to give some examples of desktop zooming that go beyond the typical accessibility viewpoint (e.g. vision impairment).
