One does not NEED to use CSS. That's just another learning obstacle after learning the basics of HTML editing. One can safely throw out any mention of a CSS and revert back to <font size="14"> tags (or similar sizes) within the actual HTML document. But just to be fair, the World Wide Consortium regards the use of <font size> tags to be outdated. But then again every web browser still supports the tag. In fact, go to the home page of LegacyFamilyTree.com and you'll find a mix of CSS and dozens of <font size=> tags within the home page.
So, as mentioned, you can: (1) just leave the created HTML pages alone and let the viewers zoom in if they need (2) learn a little bit of HTML and increase font size where you feel necessary (using the <font size> tag) (3) if you're a purist, then learn HTML and the use of CSS which allows for easy global changes to all of your HTML pages. To the OP, I'd vote for #1.

At one time I used to do this manually but now LTools has a conversion tool which changes the HTML to CSS automatically, and I can throughly recommend this product. I too didn't like the font size nor the spacings and now adjust these using LTools. Additional information on its use Is given in the Tutorial section of my website, and help on all aspects of Legacy web pages can be found on LUG Yahoo Group.
