Actually, browsers do both. For example in Firefox, you can go to
Edit->Preferences->Content on Linux (or Tools->Preferences->Contents
on Windows) and you have a pair of fields called "Default Font" and
"Default Font Size" which allow setting a default font. Browsers
have had this feature since I started using the web in 96. Since a
lot of web sites force their own fonts, browsers have added more
recently the ability to zoom on a page (and for some browsers, you
can even remember the zoom level on a page-by-page basis). But this
zoom function is mostly a hack to work around poorly designed web sites.
Thanks, forgot about that one. I guess that creates the dilemma of either
making your website honor custom settings, or get it to look the same on
all browsers. I guess d-programming-language.org uses relative font sizes,
otherwise there wouldn't be so many contradicting complaints about the
font being either too small or too large...
