No, a consistent user experience is _not_ to try to be smarter than the user. 
If the user likes his font 64pt big, so be it. Trying to be smarter then some 
users regularly results in be dumber for most other users.

Just don't do it. Have dynamic layouts and use the systems fonts, colours and 
styles. They save you a great deal of work and time which you can spend on 
more important things like what your application is doing on all systems 
instead of how its looking on some systems.
