Changing Font Sizes On Wordpress

shigajet
I brought up this question in another thread, but I'd like to know how you can allow the user to change font sizes on a blog. An example of this can be found on this site. What files would I need to edit - header.php, style.css?

If you can help me out on this one, feel free to shout out.

Shigajet,
On the top right hand corner of the site you link to, there are three square buttons, small 'a', medium 'a', and a large 'a'. Clicking these buttons by a user will alter the size of the font for their display. And I think this piece of code which I found by doing a view source is the html for those links, so find the classes in one of the stylesheets and change the font-size to whatever you want it to be.
CODE

<div id="fontcontrol">
    <h3 class="hidden">Adjust font size:</h3>
    <ul>
        <li class="font1"><a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Small');return false;" title="Small"><i>Small</i></a></li>
        <li class="font2"><a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Medium');return false;" title="Medium"><i>Medium</i></a></li>
        <li class="font3"><a href="#" onclick="setActiveStyleSheet('Large');return false;" title="Large"><i>Large</i></a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

try downloading another theme that has bigger fonts and then check the css and lookk for the size. If it doesnt work try seeing the php pages for some reference....i had to do so sometimes with the goolge ads...so it would be bad to check some code...

Actually, the site I made a link to in my post is not my own blog, as I'm using WordPress, not Nucleus (although one could almost say they have a lot of similarities). Still, thanks for the code - and the term as well - and I'll see how it turns out.

    most of you are likely to adore a font from somewhere, and would want to know what it is for future

    here's a little tool site which can help you figure out a font (or at least find a suitable
    likeness of the font) when you see a font you like in some print or web publication.
    http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ how does it work? they have a database of font imageries, and
    you just have to upload an image of the font you want, sit back, and let the search process your
