Sure. I've tried some absurdly complex things as well - such as
creating an invisible frame, setting the font there, reading out the
resulting char-height, and then trying to set the new height of the
frame and its new font in one go with modify-frame-parameters. It
didn't work (on several levels!).

Post the code here - I'm interested!
