To control font size at a global CSS level, try:

* { font-size : XX; }

For a JavaScript way of changing font size (using the above), I use
something like (note that n is populated by clicking buttons corresponding
to values 10, 12, and 14):

function adjustText (n) {
  for (var i = 0; i < document.styleSheets.length; i++) {
    for (var j = 0; j < document.styleSheets [i].rules.length; j++) {
      if (document.styleSheets [i].rules [j].selectorText == "*" ||
document.styleSheets [i].rules [j].selectorText == "") {
        // Set new size
        document.styleSheets [i].rules [j].style.fontSize = (n + "pt");

        return;
      }
    }
  }
}

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's hopefully a good
start.
