Accessibility: fill-column for man pages and docstring help

[Samuel Wales]

I use very large fonts.  This causes many things in emacs to be
unreadable.  The biggest ones are:

  1.  C-h f, C-h v, etc.: in order to read, I have to manually adjust
fill-column and reformat paragraphs.  Difficult.

  2.  Man pages.  I don't know how to adjust the fill column.

Is there a fix for both of these?

Notes:

     Note that readability also improves when fill-column is
     short.  This is why magazines and newspapers and some
     science papers have short columns.

     Also note that some people are likely to start using
     org-mode on small devices.

     Is it possible to use a shorter fill-column, say 60, in
     docstrings?

     I realize that this might be difficult, if the code
     itself uses a long fill-column, unless there is a way
     to make fill-paragraph work differently on docstrings.
     I also realize that it might be hard to automate the
     fixing of existing docstrings.

Note that some docstrings use lines that should not be folded.

Reducing font size is not an option.  This is an accessibility issue.

Thanks.
