I tried to play a bit with font-size-adjust, too, but it's apparently

If the same value for font-size-adjust leads to different visual
experiences for different fonts, I assume that either the calculation of
the aspect ratio is not good enough, or there is some fundamental
problem with the concept of aspect ratio. Let's hope this will be
improved until font-size-adjust will be a standard.
FWIW, your discussion inspired me to a suggestion on font-size-adjust in
www-style:

Here is a list of common 'serif font' fonts across various OS.

Here is a tool to calculate x-heights over various font-size variations
(by Bruno).

Here is a tool to compare various x-height of different fonts (by
Bruno). Click the header for aspect.

Some results that are close:
aspect line-h span-h w
Pristina 0.460 1.312 1.312 3277
KaiTi 0.461 1.142 1.001 3328
Calibri 0.464 1.222 1.222 3346
Candara 0.464 1.222 1.222 3558
Corbel 0.464 1.222 1.222 3581
Cambria 0.467 1.174 1.174 3611
Book Antiqua 0.467 1.244 1.244 3996
Here is a test where you can check common fonts, there variation of
x-height and line-height (very unfinished).
