No, there is no way to detect the browser's settings for these things.
However, you are not alone in the fact that most sites tend to look a little
odd when using Larger or Largest sizes. Users who have set their browser's
text size to this are usually doing it more for readability and not
aesthetics and are used to the fact that sites look odd at this size.
