you'll have to wait a bit more for this one -- most of the fonts with good
variable sizes don't have very good utf glyph coverage, unless you want to
use non-standard fonts (for plan9 at least) such as efont or 10646.

in my estimation we need about 10-12 different heights from each different
font that people may be thinking of using to cover a reasonable set of
people's desires..

i believe work is being done to remedy that problem.
