I talk to web designers often that do not know or did not notice their
font sizes are adjustable and have to tell them where to look. This is
usually after they load up a page with relative font sizes and find they
are extremely different between browsers. Then I tell them to check the
sizing.

I try to keep mine at average size on all browsers to check.

My thoughts would be the general public does not have much clue about
this and most will not adjust.
