Maybe un-checking the box (via Advanced button under the Content tab) that reads "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" will help.

Also FYI, when browsing websites, using CTRL and "+" (i.e. plus sign) will increase the font size; CTRL and "-" (minus sign) will reduce the font size; and CTRL and "0" (zero) will restore the original font size.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
