I don't know about automatic matching, especially as not all fonts are
in a TrueType derivative, but explicit sizing can be done by commands
such as the following I used to get the Khmer script working better:

; Correct the script definition in Emacs 23.1!
(set-char-table-range char-script-table (cons ?\u19e0 ?\u19ff) 'khmer)
; Make the Khmer text readable
(set-fontset-font t 'khmer (font-spec :name "Khmer OS" :height 20))
