A while ago I began thinking about a script-agnostic typeface harmonisation mechanism, based on one or two bits of new data set by the font maker. It seems to me the only way you can really do this is to have the equivalent of an official weight or measure, i.e. a special font that represents the value 1, against which all other fonts are compared and assigned appropriate scaling values for size adjustment.
