Actually, in the link you listed that I visited, the font size _did_
change, and the page didn't look too page in the doing. What specific
page-url are you referring to?

In any event, it's impossible to stop font-resizing in most browsers.
Opera (et al) even resizes images. And with IE's dwindling market-share,
other browsers are a force to be considered.
