CSS currently sets fixed pixel sizing for fonts, layouts etc, eg.
body {
    font-family: Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    background: #fff;
    color: #000;
}

In order to accommodate different screen sizes and font sizes, the text size
and layout of a web page should be scaleable. Some people with low vision
have very large monitors with a very low resolution, e.g. a 21" monitor at
640 x 480 pixels. Using a flexible design reduces the amount of horizontal
scrolling necessary to read the page.
Many sites use absolute measurements such as pixels to define sizes. This
prevents the user from enlarging the font size through their browser's
functionality and also prevents the site from fitting smoothly into any
screen size available.

Switch all of horde's and applications' theme settings to use relative
measurements, such as em or percent, rather than absolute measurements such
as ?px?.
