Sherry's comments are correct about other viewers having the capability to increase font size of the entire HTML doc being view. Some scroll mice have a built-in button for this function and in addition you'll find that just CTRL and the + or - keys will also do the same. (Works in IE and Firefox).

In Legacy, there's no way to customize the font sizes at this time. The viewer of the website can increase the font sizes for the whole web page, not specific sections. In IE, hold down the ctrl key and roll the scroll wheel on the mouse or go to View > Text size and change the size of the fonts.
