Hit "CTRL" and "-"! You will be amazed to find the page shrink, and the font alongside it!

I personally like it around 67%.

I'd prefer most sites have smaller fonts; there's no need to complain about it, though, because browsers allow you to make text smaller pretty easily, as long as the site doesn't go out of its way to deny you that.

Definitely; I often increase the size of fonts when they're too small for my liking. I have HN at 125%.

The important part is not so much getting the right font size, but making sure the user's browser can change it well enough.

Plus add line-height: 134%; and you are set! :)
