^^^^^

If you really need a 85% reduction, then there is something very wrong
with your system. Can you make an example PDF file public or send it to
me via private mail?

If you don't want to change the .fd files, you have to copy the entire
content of the .fd file into your file and modify it. At least that's
the way I understand it. Something like

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}
%%% t1pplx.fd
\DeclareFontFamily{T1}{pplx}{}

\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{m}{n}{
<-> pplr9e
}{}

\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{m}{sc}{
<-> pplrc9e
}{}

\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{m}{it}{
<-> [0.95] pplri9e
}{}

\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{b}{n}{
<-> pplb9e
}{}

\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{b}{it}{
<-> [0.95] pplbi9e
}{}

\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{m}{sl}{<->ssub * pplx/m/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{bx}{n}{<->ssub * pplx/b/n}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{bx}{it}{<->ssub * pplx/b/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{b}{sl}{<->ssub * pplx/b/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{pplx}{bx}{sl}{<->ssub * pplx/b/sl}{}

\begin{document}
Hello, \emph{this (italic) appears larger} than this (upright). Using
a \emph{\small smaller type} makes it slightly too small. This is
just text. This is \emph{just} text. This is just text. This is \emph{
\small just smaller} text.
