I am working on a 16" screen with screensize 800x600.
Higher screensizes are given me problems with the readability (must be my
age ;)

Sounds to me that you weren't correctly trying larger sizes. Text
objects need not materially change size just because you change
resolution. Usually all you need to do when changing resolution is
ensure that your DPI is appropriately set. You're probably running the
default 75 DPI, and it probably stayed 75 when you tried higher.
Unfortunately, the 75 DPI default is all too often grossly in error.
Read through http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html and maybe also some of
the links on http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-linux-about.html
and then give higher resolution another try. I run mostly either
1400x1050 or 1600x1200, depending on display size, and my eyes are a
whole lot poorer now than they used to be. 800x600 makes a lot of
program windows just awful to try to use, sometimes impossible. Even
just 1024x768 is a big improvement in this regard, even though I
consider even it to be low resolution.
