If you are doing a query and the query is fairly consistent you could create another table
that stores the current user's selection, that way you merely query for the choice (of the
previous query) and always place it in the page *if* it has been chosen in the first
place.
(Sessions and Cookies are also an alternative here.)
I would like to applaud you though, whether by accident or no, not modifying those font
sizes via JavaScript is a valiant effort in the right direction of not misusing it.
Hope that makes sense...
