It is nice beeing able to increase/decrease text size using keyboard shortcuts.
But I would also like to know the current zoom level. The best way to do that, I
think, is by adding a sub-menu with relative font-sizes. Both IE and Mozilla
include nice examples of this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit ctrl++ and ctrl+- many times in any order.
2. Try to come back to "normal" font size. 

Actual Results:  
Can't know for sure what zoom level you're at with some fonts...
This is in part a duplicate of bug 205424. For the other part the devs have
always made it clear, that any additional UI for text resizing is not
wanted/planned.

Marking WONTFIX.

I understand it is not planned by the contributors. But I think it is an
essential feature to improve product usability/accessibility.
