OK, let me ask specific questions then:

 . should the font of the text shown in the margin area change to the
   same size as the font of the text shown in the text area?

 . if the answer to the previous question is YES, then should Emacs
   automatically make sure the margin areas adjust their pixel width
   to keep the same number of character cells as specified by the
   set-window-margins command?
