That shouldn't happen, normally.  Emacs selects fonts of the same size
for a face.  Maybe people force different sizes, via fontsets or some
similar customizations, because of the issue with pixel-width of
double-width characters, but then this is not a general problem with
mixing fonts in the same face.
