I strongly recommend *not* using fixed font sizes. As an alternative,
I'd suggest using alternative style sheets and a css-style switcher. If
people find it too big (or too small), they can easily change the size
for themselves. Using fixed point sizes is a definite strike against
accessibility. Using fixed font sizes prevents people from resizing the
font size using their browsers, among other things.
Here are a couple of links for different css style switching
implementations. They can be used, of course, to do much more than just
change font size.
