Umm - actually they DO!!!  There are a number of books republished with 
LARGE FONTS for the visually impaired.

Even the CSS specifications allow for users to over-ride a page's fonts 
with their own preferences.  For accessibility reasons the User preference 
always overrides that of the designer.

Of course, using Lynx ALWAYS overrides font preferences :-)
