Not necessarily. Using a commonly used example, 10px Geneva/Verdana is easily legible to people with reasonable vision when using 1600px on a suitable monitor. Take a look at http://www.jungfrau-zeitung.ch/ artikel/?cq_*5a5b87e9=ivxPU=87988m0d where the main content column is about 450px (I think!). That's easily legible for me on a 20" monitor at 1600x1200; if I want to be daft and set 1600 x 1200 on a 17" monitor - which is a good way to get eye strain anyway :-) - then I'll increase the text size in the browser. The layout here is "flexible" enough and planned to accommodate zooming up to about 250 - 300% before the layout starts to break, which is, I would imagine, plenty for people who have poorer eyesight. The point is, if I as a user have a non-standard setup, then I should be able to choose to increase the text size myself if I want to, rather than have a larger text forced on me.
