There is no Talk page for Contact-Zoom, & the package overview page has no discussion:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/contact-zoom/
Wikiwide gave me this link to Contact-zoom in Extras:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p....3-2_armel.deb
After installation, it seems to do nothing. Fonts in the contact list still seem to be the same size, even after a reboot. Volume rocker does nothing.
In the immortal words of the help file for the calculator in Leisure Suit Larry, "How's this thing work, anyway?"
go to contact menu and you will see a option contact zoom.

Quick reply...
I am trying to figure it out now, too. You can send a email to Xavier, the developer. So far, I haven't noticed any difference, either...
Ah, here is it! [I caught the fox's tail]. It's a plugin adding a menu entry in Contact's view to display the vCard with bigger font, making it much more readable.
Open addressbook.
Click a contact.
Click the titlebar.
In the menu, there will be "Contact zoom".
Simple, and yet too far away to be of use, much of the time.
Best wishes.

Thanks, raaj & wikiwide. It seems the purpose of contact-zoom is different from what I'm looking for - I'm looking for a way to increase the font size in the list of contacts on the N900. Increasing the font size for Conversations/SMS's would be very useful, too.

Increasing the font size would indeed be welcome. SMS more important than contacts. Changing the SMS colour scheme would be a HUGE benefit too. White on black is sooooo difficult to read, I would much prefer the reverse.

Actually... Font size, text color and background color within "Single SMS", or "SMS conversation", are given by CSS file. Read contents of directory "/usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html/".
Best wishes.
