Personally I find the level of font control in MSIO abysmal. I have
it set to "Smallest" in order to get normal body text the size that
I want, but that makes the preformatted text too small for comfortable
viewing.
As far as I can tell there is no way of overcoming this at the moment
except possibly be editing the registry. I shouldn't have to do that
sort of things as I should have more control. To be frank I was
flabbergasted when I discovered how little control I had as all the
browsers I had seen previously had full presets for font size and
style.

I find myself waiting eagerly for user stylesheets in MSIE precisely
so I can solve the above problem.
