um, this is what i would call a canard. we have known this since the
first uses of PS fonts in TeX (I did my first book in LaTeX with Times
in 1986). its a fact of life that most PS fonts only come in 10 pt
size. Some have other sizes. Many Computer Modern fonts have a range
of sizes, some have more than others.

99% of the typesetting world gets by fine with the (technically
perhaps inferior) optical-scaling-plus-hints of Type1 fonts.

I suggest there are more productive things to worry about
