But the scaling factor is different depending on the font (x-height, etc.) — so don't I have to do that *inside* each function, and therefore duplicate each function in every stylesheet with a different font? I was hoping there was a more elegant solution…

This is the unfortunate reality about fonts. I once tried to find a way by first making a non-printed markup of only the "x" character, getting its Y-extent, then scaling based on that, but I was never successful. Maybe someone else will have a better idea for you, aside from adding another input parameter for to pass in to the 'fontsize markup macro.

Best,

Abraham
