If I'm gonna adjust the font size, that would affect all other pages.
That's kind of the point.

I recognize that many sites are broken and for some bizarre reason think they should display text in roughly 78%-80% of a user's chosen font size (Wikipedia goes for 0.8 ). Despite this blatant disrespect for the user, if it's widespread enough I suppose you might argue it becomes "broken" to do the right thing.
However, many sites do the right thing, so I don't think that argument quite holds its ground.
At the same time, I like a slightly larger font size. You say it's hard to read sitting close to the screen; I say a smaller font size is harder to read leaning back.

But of it depends on the monitor in question.
JoshL actually requested I stick a quick font size adjuster in the top right or something. That'd be easy. I could attach some localStorage to something like this:
javascript:void(document.documentElement.style.fontSize='12px')
I think that'd probably be the easiest way to satisfy various preferences.
