The text does not resize that way. The user can resize the text to
whatever size is comfortable. Therefore, it is important NOT to use fixed
size units when declaring a font size, use ems or percentages. Percentages
are recommended because IE has issues with ems. Better yet, do not declare
a font size at all, that way the font size will be at the user's preferred
size.
