We don't have keybindings for commands to change the font size globally, and in fact we don't have commands for that purpose at all, AFAICT. > > My students keep running into this issue, and it seems pretty common online, too: 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.
