This isn't ASP related. ASP is a server-side programming technology and
doesn't know anything about fonts.

Although this is a client side issue, please use percentages and not pixels
or points. A keyword can also be used, eg. large or small, but different
browsers have different ways of rendering it. The safest bet is to not
specify a font size for the body element, and use percentages for the
heading elements and copyright/disclaimer statements.

You should also look at font-size-adjust: <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
CSS2/fonts.html#propdef-font-size-adjust>
