No! Only IE/win would respect 'fixed' fontsize, and even that bugger can
override it. Other browsers can resize text, no matter what you do-- as
they should.
However, you have triggered the 'extreme font-steps bug' in IE/win. The
bug is triggered by the use of 'font: 1.0em' on body.
Change that to 'font: 100%' and it'll be fine.

Fixing the "problem" with font-resizing in browsers is most often done
by letting the text rearrange itself into new lines, and letting
containers expand in height -- vertical fluidity. That means *not*
setting height on containers, or using 'min-height' combined with a hack
for IE/win.
Example:
..some_classname {
min-height: 100px;/* for standard-compliant browsers */
_height: 100px;/* for IE/win */
}

Not CSS-related, but narrow horizontal lines and sharp contrasts in
images often create flickering. The problem is depending on
hardware-quality (screen, cables) at the user-end, and the result can
become really bad.
Cure: Use a smoother image and test it well.
