I think the only way to do this would be with a fancy composition
manager. Metisse, Compiz or Beryl may be able to do such things if
suitibly modified. I know Beryl can do input enabled zooming (not sure
if Compiz can ATM tho'), but even this is not what you need ATM. I can't
remember from watching the videos of Metisse, but I think it can
probably do something similar to what you want.

Still seems like a hammer to crack a walnut. I'm sure if you get your
fonts right, it would be the better solution.
