I would want (for F20 if possible) to be able to change the font size easily.

It's really not technically possible to do that with how anaconda's
written.

I suspect the solution is both possible, and easier than you think. Likely it's constructed in similar fashion to web pages that size in pixels instead of characters (em/rem/ex) or fractions thereof. Dispensing with pixel values of more than a single digit for sizing anything other than bitmap images unleashes the natural adaptability of a display screen that doesn't apply to designing for paper.

 The UI is to an extent written around the text. You can't just
change all the text to be 20pt in size and still have the UI work; stuff
just doesn't _fit_ any more.

I'm going to look up some a11y guidelines from respectable institutions
and file a few bugs on things it might be plausible to fix, but it's not
any kind of simple 'implement ctrl+' fix, I'm afraid.

I've filed the first one for you:

X forced DPI = 96 on displays natively > 96 DPI causes a11y issues
