Monotype has shown type 1 PostScript fonts that adjust stroke weights according to the size of the finished character, which seems like a good idea. Whether their technique is clever enough to account for global scaling surrounding the text isn't clear, and I haven't gotten any of their new faces to experiment with. But it's clear that some nifty stuff could be done with the type 1 character spec to make us "fussy typographers" happier. It will be very interesting to see what creative solutions come out of the opening up of the type 1 spec.
