Unfortunately, one typically wants also to change line length and leading with a different font, and font-size-adjust doesn't help with this. Long term, this is a similar problem to many others in copyfitting and automatic page layout; the most effective solution found so far in other areas (e.g. financial printing, techn pubs) has been "try tables", and the nearest things to those in CSS are media queries. How about a media query about an available font? Typically one needs to know also about font variants and language and/or glyph coverage, though. -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/
