That's equivalent to -0.09em, while http://usabletype.com/css/text/letter-spacing/ says their suggestion of -0.05em "should not be used for chunks of body text". Simply scaling up the text size (whether through a works-only-in-some-browsers widget or a browser control) will also scale up the squash and the letters will still be too close together. Unless you are lining up with graphics, please don't specify text size in px.

FireFox, MSIE, Safari, et al have to my knowledge an easy user interface to change type sizes. _NO_ specific font size is right for all users that's why every browser designer I have seen provides that functionality for the user. I concert with your concerns, though, I will say I love a site with a little Plus/Minus text size "widget"or script up at the top of each page ... because sometimes even different pages are easier in different sizes and one shouldn't make the user have to think.

I've never seen a web site with text as small and hard-to-read as "10 Ways to Become a More Efficient Webmaster". I just checked it's not my browser: 11px with -1px letter-spacing so they're small and crash into each other a bit. Maybe that looks OK on Microsoft, but it's a mess on both Unix and my mobile. Webmasters: if you want your site to be more efficient for reading, please use point sizes and don't reduce letter-spacing. Sorry to go a little off-topic, but wow!
