Hey, that's what this list is meant for.

Yes, indeed.

,----
| Face: font-latex-sectioning-0-face (sample) (customize this face)
| 
| Documentation:
| Face for sectioning commands at level 0.
| 
| Probably you don't want to customize this face directly.  Better
| change the base face `font-latex-sectioning-5-face' or customize the
| variable `font-latex-fontify-sectioning'.
`----

So if your whole intent is to change the scaling factor, use this
variable:

,----[ C-h v font-latex-fontify-sectioning RET ]
| font-latex-fontify-sectioning is a variable defined in `font-latex.el'.
| Its value is 1.1
| 
| Documentation:
| Whether to fontify sectioning macros with varying height or a color face.
| 
| If it is a number, use varying height faces.  The number is used
| for scaling starting from `font-latex-sectioning-5-face'.  Typically
| values from 1.05 to 1.3 give best results, depending on your font
| setup.  If it is the symbol `color', use `font-lock-type-face'.
| 
| Caveats: Customizing the scaling factor applies to all sectioning
| faces unless those face have been saved by customize.  Setting
| this variable directly does not take effect unless you call
| `font-latex-update-sectioning-faces' or restart Emacs.
| 
| Switching from `color' to a number or vice versa does not take
| effect unless you call M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer or restart
| Emacs.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
