Try the following to override the font size.

http://www.abilitynet.org.uk/content/accessibility/prefs/ie.htm

Open the Tools menu with the mouse or by pressing Alt+T.
Select the Internet Options option with the mouse or by pressing O.
Select the Accessibility button with the mouse or by pressing Alt+E.
Check the "Ignore font sizes specified on web page" checkbox with the mouse or by pressing alt+Z.
Select the OK button twice with the mouse or by pressing Enter twice.

They forgot the important step...

right click on internet Explorer Icon.. select properties.

 at the bottom, click the button that states Accessibility..

 in new pop up window, check the box that states "Ignore Font Sizes Specified on Web pages"

 click ok..

Close all IE that are open.. reopen IE,  goto web site when web site loads, go to menu bar

click on view

put mouse on text size

in side menu from test size, choose the size you want... web page will then resize text..

hope that this helps
