Although I don't really want to criticise you on your motives here, I'm just going to put what I think down anyway.
I'm not too sure whether this is something you should be particularly concerned about.
You can definitely theme your site so that it works appropriately at different zoom levels.
However it's somewhat the browser's responsibility to allow users to actually do the zooming.  I understand that dumping the problem somewhere else really doesn't solve it, so I may propose to put instructions on how to enable zooming if you believe this to be a prime concern amongst your visitors.  Arguably though, this is still more complicated.

The thing is, for people who do know how to zoom, you'll get absurdly large fonts on their displays (unless their browser supports per-site zoom levels and they reduce the zoom for your site).  Also, users who really need larger fonts and don't have them on a system level probably find it rather difficult to operate their computer or other websites.  IMO, best to stay consistent with everything else.  Which is why I don't think the onus really lies on you, a website operator, to fix it.

But then, if you believe the majority of your users fit into this category (trouble using small fonts and don't know about zooming / adjusting system DPI/resolution settings), then fair enough.

XThreads doesn't provide custom post fields unfortunately, only thread fields.

You'd need another plugin for that.
Not sure if one is available, if not, try asking on the community forums to see if anyone is willing to write up a plugin to restrict the number of replies a user can make to a thread.
