  Use the power of CSS. Create a $(HOME)/.amaya.css containing
a magnification command applied to BODY:

e.g: BODY { magnification : 1 }

As an example here is my .amaya.css file, doing justification of
paragraphs and a slight magnification:

-----------------------------------------------
/*
 * CSS 1.0 Style Sheet produced by Amaya
 *
 * User's Preferences
 *
 * URL : /users/veillard/.amaya.css
 * Last updated 06/25/96 17:10:50 by veillard on praslin
 */

BLOCKQUOTE P { text-indent : 0pt; line-height : 16pt; text-align: justify }
LI P { text-indent : 0pt; line-height : 16pt; text-align: justify }
P { text-indent : 15pt; line-height : 16pt; text-align: justify }
UL P { text-indent : 0pt; line-height : 16pt; text-align: justify }
DD P { text-indent : 0pt; line-height : 16pt; text-align: justify }
BODY { magnification : 1 }

/* CSS end */
----------------------------------------------- 

  Note however that magnification implementation is not perfect,
it does not do proportionnal scaling of each elements.
