Allan,

Doesn't the <font> tag work for you?  For example:

  <font size="7">This is really big text</font>
  <font size="-2">This is really small text</font>
  <font size="3">This is in-between text</font>

If you're asking about changing the size of the default system font,
even if you could do it with HTML (you can't) you'd likely have some
angry users if you did.

Hi,
I'm building this website.. its best viewed at a certain sized font. can
I some how set users browser to the desired font size? They may changed
it if they want to, its only when they first open the 
page, the font size will be what I have set.
