Let me gently suggest that the problem lies more in your expectations
than in the shortcomings of either browser.  The "make it bigger/make it
smaller" problem has an obvious solution: don't make it any size at all.

By the way, while you deserve kudos for using valid HTML, you probably
want to check some CSS issues here:

Setting font sizes in absolute units like points is a good guarantee of
getting complaints about text being too large or too small on different
monitors.
