Font size question on websites?

I have a question about using font size properties when developing websites. I've noticed that if I manually change the font size in my browser (Mozilla or Explorer) It really makes my web pages look terrible. Especially if the font is to big. The text overlaps borders and other things on the page. Most websites I visit aren't effected by this as much. These websites seem to adjust with the font size properties when changed. I'm guessing that this can be fixed using CSS font properties. Can anyone help with this? Thanks
