ok, i was thinking of embedded optical sized (i.e. one font file
that has several sizes)
Is there anything besides different sizes in opentype math fonts and
the ruby feature in cjk fonts?
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).

But I don't think there is support for a single font file with different
optical sizes.
ah
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.
sure, it's no big deal to support it, but as said .. i don't have such
fonts (and i don't want illegal copies on my machine) so i haven't
looked into it; also, for the few cases that are there, typescripts can
cover it (if it concerns different font files) .. if it crosses out
paths wolfgang and i can add it to the mkiv heuristics handler
