http://nickcowie.com/ does it with JS. It's absolutely infuriating to have a 
horizontal scroll no matter how big you make your browser window, which is what 
that page does if the default font size is larger than stock
browser defaults more than a px or two. It's in the same maddening class as 
sites that think they know better than me how big text in my browser window 
should be.

As an alternative, try offering an alternative stylesheet or two. Visitors who 
know how to turn off site styles on uncomfortable pages in their view menu may 
try them instead of turning off site styles entirely.
