default font size rc setting

This is what I am trying to accomplish, using the existing scaling framework.
Rather than "main + or - X", it multiplies main by one of the following:

{'xx-small': 0.579, 'x-small': 0.694, 'small': 0.833,
                 'medium': 1.0, 'large': 1.200, 'x-large': 1.440,
                 'xx-large': 1.728}

the default font size for tickmarks, legend entries, etc. I have some
set at 18 pt, some at 16, and some at 14. I don't know if there is an
easy way to do all of this and make it possible to shift everything my
adjusting one setting. Does it make sense to allow the user to set
offset values - so that legend font is main-4 and tickmarks are
main-2?

Sounds good to me. I guess when this is done I need an example rc
file and a little info on how it should work.
