If they are using a screen magnifier, they should not be changing the fonts, the magnifier does a much better job than the browser. The Opera browser does a better job than IE in using larger fonts. It's not a problem with the content, its a problem with the browser and/or magnifier. Relative fonts only helps browsers than currently do a poor job, hence the priority 2 for content authors. It should be a lot more productive to fix a handful of browsers than billions of pages. What's the problem with using the free Opera? Send the problem to the UA group, not WCAG.
