CSS and Increasing Text Size

After reading on the web for several hours my eyes get tired, so I tap "Apple" "+"  a couple times to increase the font size.  The problem with this is when I resize a CSS layer the layer increases down and right  Scroll bars suck.  The other problem is that the line spacing does not increase too!  Is there anything I can do in my site to fix this besides emailing W3C?  What about my own viewing habits, is there something else I can do to increase the font size without the "Apple" "+" keys?

Re: CSS and Increasing Text Size

You can specify the line-height using relative units, like ems. But, larger type+more leading=scrollbars, so that's unavoidable, unless you get a bigger monitor.

Re: CSS and Increasing Text Size

I figured as much.  Thanks for the relative unit spacing tip.
