Setting default font size in newfontfamily

Question

When mixing fonts in XeTeX, some fonts have quite different aspects for the same size.

Say, I'm using Linux Libertine as my main font and I want to use Latino Elongated for chapter headings. Latino Elongated is quite smaller than Linux Libertine for the same font size (11pt).

Is there a way to specify the default font size when loading a font via newfontfamily, such that all text written using that font is scaled up?

newfontfamily{myfamily}{My Font}[Scale=MatchUppercase]
newfontfamily{myfamily}{My Font}[Scale=MatchLowercase]
newfontfamily{myfamily}{My Font}[Scale=0.8]

Choose what suits you best.
In old syntax:
newfontfamily{myfamily}[Scale=MatchUppercase]{My Font}
newfontfamily{myfamily}[Scale=MatchLowercase]{My Font}
newfontfamily{myfamily}[Scale=0.8]{My Font}
