You need to allow users to scale text as desired, as the original web intended. You shouldn't make a site targeted to mobile; you should make a site that allows the user to display in their client as they wish.

The problem will fix itself.

I don't understand what that means in practice except to evangelize the tenets of mobile (fluid) design.

How are you going to make a site that lets the user display the site as they wish without just making a reflowable mobile-friendly site?

Desktop sites are generally static and have nonfluid components like sidebars which is how fluid design became necessary in the mobile age which seems to be what you are proposing.
