I got appropriate results like this (tested only in Chromium):

CSS:

<style>
#iframe {
    -moz-transform: scale(0.25, 0.25) translate(-150%, -150%);
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.25, 0.25) translate(-150%, -150%);
    -o-transform: scale(0.25, 0.25) translate(-150%, -150%);
    transform: scale(0.25, 0.25) translate(-150%, -150%);
}
#wrapper {
    width: 256px;
    height: 230px;
}

You can apply css transforms to iframes:

iframe {
    -moz-transform: scale(0.25, 0.25); 
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.25, 0.25); 
    -o-transform: scale(0.25, 0.25);
    -ms-transform: scale(0.25, 0.25);
    transform: scale(0.25, 0.25); 
    -moz-transform-origin: top left;
    -webkit-transform-origin: top left;
    -o-transform-origin: top left;
    -ms-transform-origin: top left;
    transform-origin: top left;
    border: solid #ccc 10px;
}

The transform origin property allows it to be scaled without changing its position.

This works for Webkit, Opera, FF and IE9 (untested). Text looks great and is still legible at very small sizes.
