Unfortunately, if the webmaster sets the font size in pixels,
which is very common today including many major web sites like hotmail.com,
Internet Explorer will not let you resize the text.
The IE text size menu will just do nothing.

I created a website with javascript bookmarklets that you can install
into your IE ‘Favorites list’ or ‘Links Toolbar’ that
will resize text that IE will not let you by just
clicking on the bookmarklet links. It’s free and works with
99% of all web pages, go to:

Nice… keyboard shortcuts are always the way to go.

The easiest way to increase font size is to just use these keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl + (increase)
Ctrl - (decrease)
Ctrl 0 (reset)

They should work in all browsers, and I’ve found that a lot of regular users know about them.
