I think the only way to make sure you really get a good size match is to 
use the same scale for all pages in the printout. Leave the field font 
size alone, and instead, scroll the field via script and print each page 
sequentially using the same settings. See the "pageHeights" property, 
which reports the scroll settings required to print each page of the 
field. That's what revPrintText uses, actually.
