By using the two buttons side by side, one with a small A, the other with a larger A, in Safari, or Shift-Command + or - to zoom in or out. if a page goes with em versus px, are there downsides to that? I did a little poking around on sites I know..some use a setup where you can't increase the font size, some you can. I personally think that relationships should be preserved, but not all share this view, maintaining that Users should be enabled to crank their fonts as much as they want to.
