I don't believe you can stop the inheritance. You should try using the
keywords which are relative to the users font-size setting. Xx-small
x-small small etc... Otherwise you might can try mixing and matching
percentages with ems? I have not tried it but maybe something like:
<div style="font-size: 0.90em;">
Some text
<div style="font-size: 90%;"> //<-- maybe that will make it 90%
OF .90em essentially dropping the size 10%?
More text
</div>
Some text
</div>
