Description

The [`size-adjust` CSS property](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face/size-adjust) allows you to set scaling factors for specific font families. This is useful for harmonizing the size of text written in different fonts (something similar is used in egui for adjusting emoji fonts' sizes).

This can't be implemented at a higher level by just scaling the font size for a given style, because you can specify a stack of multiple fonts as part of a style, and we only want the size adjustment to apply to a specific one.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing how a font stack is represented and how each selected font contributes to text metrics. Implement per-font size adjustment without applying it to the whole style, then verify that stacks containing adjusted and unadjusted fonts preserve their intended sizing.
