No, I'm not. I know that people with accessibility problems have more severe problems than people with small font preferences. But I do like the idea of going for .85em, if that makes everybody happy, rather than swinging all the way over to 1em.
But I only say that because the OP said .82 was enough to solve the problems they'd encountered, not because I'm picking the number arbitrarily. You know? I didn't want to overcorrect the problem. And I didn't finish reading your response, so I didn't see that that wasn't enough for you. For that, I apologize.
But I have to say: There are also browser settings you can tweak to make sure you NEVER have to mess with font sizes again: in Firefox, for example, go to Tools-->Options-->Content-->Fonts & Colors-->Advanced.
There, you can set 16px as your minimum font size, and never have to swap around font sizes again.
