Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Specifying changes to parameters for fallback fonts (#126)

> I'm not sure font-size-adjust really covers this, especially for non-Latin fonts where the concept of ex-height may not be at all well defined, and there's a good chance that whatever data may be in fonts won't be appropriate to harmonize across families.

I agree. `font-size-adjust` was designed (in, like, 1997, by Todd Fahrner) for Latin, and also works with Cyrillic and Greek scripts. If you want to harmonize two fonts sizes for Arabic, or Hebrew, or Devanagari, then (best case) it has no benefit and (worst case) it adds irrelevant, random re-scaling which may make things worse..
