What about extending @supports for this? Something like...
@supports ( font-family: 'Avenir' ) {
p { margin: 0.6em 0; }
article { padding: 12px 6px; }
etc...
}

We currently set them as concrete values based on the preferred font, but if that font isn't available then the next in the font stack is unlikely to be suitably close and therefor the measures need adjusting. CSS doesn't have that type of logic or workflow.
