Comment(by dnarvaez):

 Simon, could you please build an rpm with the scale1024x768 patch?

 I tested the rpm with the scale.patch, it works as expected, fonts are
 readable, layout is fine, though most websites shows an horizontal
 scrollbar. It looks like these days most desktop websites are designed for
 a minimum of 1024x768. So the patch tries a factor of 1.171875, which
 gives exactly a 1024x768 screen, horizontal scrollbars will go away but
 I'm not sure how readable the text will be. It's a 17% increment which
 should help, but it will probably be not be enough.

 I think the alternatives are:

 * Hope web sites improves on smaller devices :) Mostly joking but who
 knows with all the smaller tablets on the market...
 * Zoom to fit. Though I'm not sure I like that when used in laptop "mode",
 it sort of requires touch.
 * Horizontal scrollbars :/
