OpenType fonts can set a size feature, setting the optical size of the font and the size range in which it is used, so different font files in the same family with different optical sizes can be set (like LM). http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_pt.htm#size But I don't think there is support for a single font file with different optical sizes. Fontloader already expose the size info if present, we wrote some code for LaTeX that loads the best optical size automatically based on the requested font size, it isn't that hard.
