Hi Stuart,
It depends on the height of the nut. The first fret has to be as high
as it can be without buzzing (in normal play, and this is surprisingly
high), and so on up the neck. This may involve reducing fret sizes as
one goes "up" the neck, it may not.
Historically Dowland suggested using a fourth course string (about
.75mm?) for the first fret, but he was talking about double frets.
Best wishes,
Martin

Is there a set of standard gauges of fret gut for a typical G lute,
60cms string length?
And, if so, what are they?
