Icons for Accessibility (Contrast + Larger/Smaller fonts)

Hi there!
I'm not sure, but I think a contest and larger/smaller font icons can be a useful addition.
See this page for an example (left side):

Hi there! I'm a big fan of making things accessible, always open to suggestions.
I need some more context to understand what you're suggesting for Genericons, though. I tried the button on the left side, that made everything larger, lovely.
Genericons by virtue of being an icon font is already prepared for features like that, though — as you scale icons up, they stay crisp and sharp. Can you elaborate on your suggestion?
Yes, of course! I don't mean the effect when you click on them; I meant the icons themselves.
I'm not sure if there is any need for this, but if I wanted to make my site more accessible and if I wanted to do so by providing buttons to crank up the contrast or enlarge the fonts, there are no specific Genericons I could use.
Yes, I could probably use an alternative like Bold (f471). But still... :)
Ooh I see, you'd like icons for increasing the size I see! Could you do something like:
A+ / A-
for increasing/decreasing?
Closing for now.
