The problem with fonts is relatively minor, and is greater with CSS, which allows absolute sizes to be specified eg in points. Although most browsers allow an over-ride, and Opera beaves especially nicely, it is related to the problem of setting absolute sizes for an XxY screen and expecting it to help people if you say 'use a 1500x1200 21" monitor'. It doesn't. Having to scroll across and down to read pages is a fast way to render them illegible. in the guidelines thing it is a p3 (may be done - will improve accessibility).
