I missed the word "size". It should have been "normalise the font size".
Basically I delete the font size from the standard paragraphs and the body. Then I fiddle with the font size of the headings and anything else that might be different to try and keep something similar to the original design.

For the record, there is something out there that will build a book with body having a font size of something like 0.83333em, then wraps the text in a div with a font size of 1.2m, uses a paragraph for the heading setting that to 1.2, but wraps the actual text in two spans with different sizes. When I have multiplied it our, it usually works out to be about 1.6em for the headings. I simplify this rubbish but try to maintain the same relative sizes. So I think normalising is a reasonable word choice.

I do remove the font family for the standard paragraph. I have found the following in a lot of books:

Code:
body {
    font-family: Palatino, Malabar, Merriweather, "Droid Serif", serif;
}
I don't like Malabar and that is on the Kobo devices, so I remove this line. I usually keep the font for headings or anywhere it might help.
