Slightly tricky! I see two main options. Either let also the fis 
formally be a grace note,
but printed in normal font size, or alternatively to let the grace notes 
be normal notes
engraved in smaller size and adjust the durations of the notes, so 
everything matches.

\version "2.10.0"
\score { <<
 \new Staff \relative {
   \grace {c16[ d e f ] }g1 |
   \set fontSize = #-3 c,16 d e f \unset fontSize g1*3/4 |
 }
 \new Staff \relative {
   \grace { \revert Stem #'font-size \revert NoteHead #'font-size 
fis1*1/4 }
   s1 |
   fis1
 }
>>}
\layout{ragged-right = ##t }

Of course, if they are not beamed, see section "Grace notes".
Unfortunately not if they are beamed, as here. A workaround is
described in
