We use body { font-size: 62.5%} as a convenience so that 1.1em=11px,
1.3em=13px, etc. You can do the same, or you can change the font size for
your font. If you're using a custom font from ThemeRoller, there's an option
to change the font size. If you're using a prebuilt theme with a font-size
like 1.1em or 1.2em you can override it by adding this after the theme css:
<style type="text/css">
.ui-widget { font-size: 1em; }
</style>
