Font size
Hi,
As stated on the following page, you are supposed to adjust the font size in the e-reader application, not in Atlantis.
http://indesignsecrets.com/apples-ibook ... format.php:
“EPUB is a language designed to reflow text based on criteria entered by the user in the reader application, such as font size.”
…
By the way, here is on the subject of Stanza from the same page:
“Stanza, the application listed by everyone as using EPUB, doesn’t recognize simple formatting like italics, bold, and indents. Plus it insists on adding a line between paragraphs and grossly large chapter titles. I find it essentially useless for good output.”
Finally, you might want to read your EPUB files in Firefox. Here is from http://www.epubread.com/en/:
“EPUBReader is a Firefox addon which let you read ePub-files just in the browser. You don't need to install additional software!
If you click on a link to an ePub-file, you are normally prompted by the Firefox "save as" dialog. With EPUBReader installed, the ePub-file is downloaded, processed and directly displayed ready to read!
An ePub-file is essentially an archive of HTML files. So why not read ePub-files with a program which is specialized in displaying HTML-files and many people have already installed? That's the idea which lead to the creation of EPUBReader as a Firefox addon. It runs on every platform Firefox does (Windows, MacOS X, Linux).”
This add-on works quite well.
HTH.
Cheers,
Robert

You cannot use "em" measurement units in RTFs or DOCs. But you can still control font size of texts of your eBooks in eReaders by changing font size in your source documents in Atlantis.
The 11pt font size in Atlantis translates to the default font size of eReader. The 12pt font size in Atlantis translates to 1.09 of the default font size of eReader. I suppose that if you format your text in Atlantis with 12pt, then save as eBook, it would display in your eReader in the way you want.
You can use the Ctrl+] hot key in Atlantis to grow the font size of the selected text fragment by one point. Ctrl+[ shrinks the font size of the selection by 1pt.
