Specify fallback font sizes in CSS?

Is there any way to specify different font sizes for fallback fonts in CSS? I want to do something like this (which obviously does not work):

div {
    font-family: "Arial Narrow", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 20px, 18px, 18px, 18px;
}

The idea being that Arial Narrow would display at 20px if the user has it installed; if not, the browser would fall back to Arial at 18px, then Helvetica at 18px, etc.

Or, could I use JS to achieve a similar effect?

If Arial Narrow is missing on some browsers, those browsers normally accept @font-face urls like

@font-face {
    font-family: Arial Narrow;
    src: url(Arial Narrow.otf);
}

@font-face I find works on all common browsers except for IE8/IE9, if vista dose not have Arial Narrow for example I use fullback CSS for IE8 with new font size

<head>

<!--[if IE 7]>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie7.css">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie7.css">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9]>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie7.css">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 6]>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie7.css">
<![endif]-->

</head>

With Javascript, you can make a span with a capital "A" in it. If Arial Narrow is installed, this will have a width of 11px, if not it will have a width greater than that. You can check this span and then hide it to determine what you have installed.

a = document.createElement('span');
a.innerHTML = 'A';
a.style.display = 'inline';
a.style.fontFamily = '"Arial Narrow", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif';
a.style.fontSize = '20px';
document.body.appendChild(a);
aw = a.offsetWidth;
a.style.display = 'none';
a.parentNode.removeChild(a);

if (aw > 11) {
    document.getElementById('yourDiv').style.fontSize = '18px';
} else {
    document.getElementById('yourDiv').style.fontSize = '20px';
}

I understand what you want, but I think the answer to your question is "No, this can't be done in CSS", at least not in CSS2 afaik.

Hoping someone can prove me wrong, 'cause i want this too :D

I suppose JS can accomplish this, at least up to some point. Not sure if there is a "is this font installed?" method in JS, but you may be able to make some educated guesses based on OS and such. Got no experience there sorry.

Edit: some quick googling does provide a few clever JS tricks, though I haven't tried them yet. E.g. http://remysharp.com/2008/07/08/how-to-detect-if-a-font-is-installed-only-using-javascript/

Another edit, after some more searching: I was triggered by the "someone should propose it" :D. It seems CSS3 spec has the "font-size-adjust", which may be of use here. However, support in browsers other than Firefox may not be optimal at the time I write this. Here's the W3 word on that property: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-font/#font-size-adjust

I had a related problem using CSS3 fonts, which obviously don't work in IE6-8. The fallback font (Arial) is much bigger than the default font. Got round it in a similar way to mVChr but by detecting the browser. Not pretty really, but the joys of having to support IE. Code (with jQuery):

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        //change font sizes in IE6-8 because they display Arial not Dincon
        if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 6') > -1 
         || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 7') > -1 
         || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE 8') > -1) {
            $('.offending-class').css('font-size', '11px');
        }
    });
</script>
