There has been some similar articles around for a while, for
instance in A List Apart[1]. The problem with this is that, although
it's possible, it has a lot of inconveniences or weaknesses that must be
carefully avoided.
First example: you can't successfully combine two or more font
families. font-size-adjust has been wiped out of CSS 2.1because it never
got implemented (aside from Fx) and it was pretty much the only way we
could have relieved this. So you either set the size in pixels, or use
the same font (which you must ensure it exists in all client systems),
or you better use images and avoid a huge hassle.
Good luck.
