When mixing fonts it is considered good form by typographers to make their 
x-heights equal.
May I second Pat's suggestion of increasing/decreasing point size relative 
to the host paras 
font size but also suggest:

@       automatically setting x-heights of the embedded char format equal 
to the host para format 
@       increasing/decreasing char format size by a fixed percentage 
relative to the host size

Regards,
Hedley
