the faq has two .fd extracts (as it were).  the second one

\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pzc}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}%
             {<-> s * [0.900] pzcmi7t}{}
\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathscr}{OT1}{pzc}%
                                 {m}{it}

gives you zapf chancery at 90% of its designed size.  i used that
value when writing the answer because it's what someone told me; it's
plainly easy to try alternative factors.
