Thanks for your answers everyone...

Well, the site design manages the resizing of text (body/headlines  
etc) very well.
It is just the menu text which relies on fitting into a specific  
place within the
design. And yes, i am aware of pixel sized text being problematic in  
terms of accessibility,
and i am no fan of tiny text, yet in this case it would just be a  
much quicker solution then
changing the client approved design (hmm, maybe i should've thought  
about this problem earlier...)

Does anyone know what happens if you use a bit of javascript to force  
a styling onto this text onLoad,
would this override user setting?
