\definefont font is a rather raw command
it does support dynamic filenames, so you can say:
\definefontsynonym[blabla][bla]
\definefont[blablala][blabla sa 1]
and redefine the fontsynonym anywhere you want and \bablabla will follow.
what do you mean with the scaling? sa 1.4 does follow the scale, doesn't
it? You can also try:
[somefont at 3ex]
or alike. Or do you want something more tricky?
