And two -- if there is that, if there *is* a control to restrict websites to a minimal font size, I haven't found it in the past ~5 minutes. Being that I am a person that likes very large fonts (and sit back and with head up at my dual-monitors), that's almost a killer for me: most websites I visit have painfully microscopic font sizes on high resolution displays!!!!
You should be increasing the DPI settings for your display in proportion to your resolution. A 12pt font should be the same size, no matter what the resolution is. If 12pt is tiny on your monitor, your DPI setting is wrong. There's an Xorg commandline setting for this, that can be added to the startx command, or xinit command, or *dm config file, or <insert preferred method of starting X here> command, or ... Hmmm, yeah, guess it's not so easy to keep DPI settings straight on X systems.
