For scaling, we can specify a size, some thing like:

I don't know Arabic, but I've done similar things for Greek, and that is
not a good interface. You want a scaling factor, so users won't have to
worry about scaling in footnotes, titles, etc., an absolute size is not
a viable alternative.
indeed.
btw, i have no problem with a bunch of predefined combinations (using
the fallbacks mechanism) so that users can quickly initialize a typeface
\usetypescript[fancyarabicwithgreekandtraditionallatin]
\setupbodyfont[fancyarabicwithgreekandtraditionallatin,13pt]
or so, collected in some type-* file, but that's as far as we can go; we
need to guard at least some minimal quality
a quick start but with bad output is not the way to go
