I'm trying design a web site using CSS. The site is not static so there will be
regular additions by numerous people. I've tried creating "template" pages that
can be used for them to drop in their text and graphics, but I'm running into
quite a few font problems.

Is this a blog? An online magazine?
Have you considered a Content Management System (CMS)?

Is there a way to provide a range of acceptable font sizes, such as 9 pt to 12
pt. I know you can define different classes, but the people adding the content
are using simple HTML and dropping some text into tables. Their focusing on
their content, not the HTML and CSS code to format it.

For a CSS-only method classes are the only way. The people will have to
add the classes to their code themselves. If they cannot do that simple
thing, it's a user problem, not technical.
Even then, the people can always use "style=" to bypass any restriction
you might have in place. Basically it is all or nothing. Or you edit
everything they submit.
