Personally, I do exactly that: For each host, I specify my favorite
font-size. If you want to have a look at the relevant part of my
init.el, take a look at the inline-attachment at the end of this mail or

Sorry for not being helpful by not answering your question. I'd also
like to know if there is a solution like what you're hoping for.
