  \definefontsynonym [Courier] [texnansi-Courier sa  0.9]

This works almost perfectly; Courier is scaled exactly like I want  
it. There's one small problem: the first occurrence of monotype in  
the document will print sa 0.9 at 12.0pt just before the passage in  
monotype. This happens only once in the document, but it doesn't look  
very nice. Bug or feature?


scaling is not defined at that lvel, but with 
\definefont[somename][Courier sa 0.9] cum suis; what you're looking for 
is 'rscale':


\definetypeface . [encoding=texnansi,rscale=0.9]

grep for rscale in the base directory; there are some example 
combinations defined

Please disregard this question; I was being stupid. The proper way to  
do the scaling is


\definetypeface [MyAGaramond] [tt] [mono] [agaramondsemi] [default]  
[rscale=0.9,encoding=texnansi]


Sorry for the noise.
