It is not clear what should the requested feature do, and the links
you provided each talk about different aspects of the problem without
actually completely defining the requested functionality.
So: what should be the effect of this "global" change of the "font
size"? Some thought-provoking questions:
. should this affect only the faces whose fonts don't define their
own size, or should it affect _all_ fonts?
. should this really affect _all_ the buffers? e.g., what about the
minibuffer and the echo-area buffers?
. should this affect all the frames or just the currently selected
frame? what about future frames?
. should this affect the mode line?
. should this affect tooltips?
. should this affect the fringes and their bitmaps?
. should this affect the menu bar, the drop-down menus, and the GUI
dialogs?
We need a clear understanding of the feature before we implement it,
IMO.
Thanks.
