Unfortunately, as Kobo have increased the resolution of the devices, they have kept the same font sizes. The last time I checked, the font sizes used were: 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58. On my Touch, I use 17 and the Glo, 22. When sitting next to each other, the Glo is a little smaller than the Touch, but is more readable. I haven't seen an AuraHD to compare.

With the list of fonts above, the firmware does handle the sizes in between. If you edit ".kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf", you can set the font to any number in the range. The font size is the line "readingFontSize". Change that, and it is used from then on for new books opened. But, it will be lost if you change any of the settings.
