I'm in agreement here. I don't know how useful the survey is.

Personally I don't think we need a smaller size. I like it how it is,
and personally think the larger size doesn't look as professional.

The font size switcher is in fact just a css switcher. It could
potentially be used to choose between a lot more options: color, size,
layout--anything that is controlled through css. I think making the
gray darker would also call attention to the fact that the font size
option is there.

Perhaps three sizes could be made available, Small (current normal),
medium (current Larger), and Large (100%).
