If people don't know that they can resize the fonts in their browser, surely it is far better for sites like yours to educate people about the functionality they are missing out, rather than create custom-hacks that only help users of this given site?
It's the whole "give a man a fish and he can eat a single meal/give a man a fishing net and he can feed his whole family forever" kind of thing...
When the user goes to the next site, it's unlikely to offer CSS font resizing. And if they do it's not going to be in the same place on the page, look the same or necessarily behave the same.
The browser functionality will always be there, look the same and probably persist across sites - so setting it once is all that it takes.
As an accessibility consultant in a previous life, I would strongly urge you to help educate your users about browser functionality rather than create single point fixes that does nothing to help them when they leave your site.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">function changeFontSize(inc){ var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p'); for(n=0; n<p.length; n++) { if(p[n].style.fontSize) { var size = parseInt(p[n].style.fontSize.replace("px", "")); } else { var size = 12; } p[n].style.fontSize = size+inc + 'px'; }}
