[Patternfly] Reconsidering website text size

[June Zhang]

About the font size, there are two issues in github.
https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly/issues/3 <https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly/issues/3>
https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly/issues/31 <https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly/issues/31>

12px, I can accept it.

In my part projects, we are using 12px as normal and bigger size as the second assist size.
For example, new package wrangler [1] prototype and new Errata tool prototype [2].

I understand the site itself uses patternfly styles which were designed for app interfaces, but to me this size feels small and quiet when used for body copy.
