You should only allow relative sizes -- relative to the base size set by
the visitor to the Web site. Thus, you might allow 90% to 110%.
You should not set absolute sizes (e.g., 9 pt to 12 pt). Only the
person viewing your Web pages knows what font size he or she really
wants or (with a visual handicap) requires.
