I've identified 2 ways the page's code could accommodate any (reasonable) size font the user wants to use:
1. Make the headers a graphic rather than a font. This will keep the header at a fixed, smaller size. It's acceptable if the user needs to squint (or use the "zoom cursor") for that one line.
2. Make the box that contains the header and text below larger to accommodate larger sizes of fonts.
3. Both 1 and 2, above.
The question is how flexible you want to make the site to allow all kinds of users to easily view the pages. As I've said, I don't see this issue with any other sites I've visited.
And the gray text on off-white background just plain sucks. It may look "cool" to some, but on the usability scale it starts to lose some users. Too low-contrast. (And no, I won't use OS X's "Universal Access" disability features just to read some web sites that use lame colors.)
Thanks,

Looks good but is there any chance to increase the font size for the comments. It does appear very, very small and makes it difficult to see....otherwise it looks slick..:-)

We didn't shrink the comment font size, did we? Did you find it too small before? You can always use command-plus (on a Mac) and ctrl-plus (on a PC) to increase the font size of everything in your browser. That's what I do on my high-res displays where the text is way to small on every website for my bad eyes to read clearly.

I did not say I did not like it, but I am sure you messed with the resolution...;-) but what's with the bile green :-)?

I don't think the text was changed, it looks like some of the buttons are bigger though, giving the (btw the formatting help link is broken) appearance of smaller text.
