Some websites have fixed the size of their text so cannot be altered through Views so it is possible that none of these could work. Also if you are using an intranet the sizes could be fixed by your system administrator so contact them if you are having difficulties.
There are one or two minor differences in the display of pages if you are viewing them in a bigger text size. They are still there as I haven't found a way to eradicate them yet!
