There's at least two ways to do it:

Increase the font sizes, leave the resolution at what it is (which is
important with LCD panels, which do not scale well - you end up with
fuzzy hard to read text, compared to larger and clearly defined text).

In the personal preferences for the user, select the resolution that
they'll use.  Rather than try to change the system settings.
