I chose a solution for another question that I had ( stretch text in inkscape, but then transfer it to the path ), and I thought, can I easily and programmatically make one font from another? As a concrete example, you can take the font FreeSerif, double its height and create another font, calling it FreeSkinnySerif? (Then I could use FreeSkinnySerif in Inkscape and get the effect I'm behind it.)
FontForge Scripting may work for you, in particular scale . I suggest trying the command in the GUI first, rather than creating a script .

Have you watched Metafont ? This is antiquity, but a treat.
