Sorry I don't have the answer to your question, but I'll tell you right now 
that you're alienating a surprising large percentage of customers who may 
have visual disabilities and can only navigate your site by using large 
font sizes.  If you force your customers to view text at a size that is too 
small for their comfort, I guarantee that they will not buy from you.

I personally keep my text size set to "Smaller" when in IE, but that's 
beside the point.   :-)  Design your pages so that they work reliably with 
all sizes of text -- it doesn't have to be pretty -- but make it work.

And while we're on it -- use ALT properties in your IMG tags for people who 
use text-to-speech or non-graphical browsers and make sure your site works 
without Javascript or cookies.  :-)
