bug#57313: Request: Resizing window with text scaling

[wilnerthomas--- via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

I frequently use  `text-scale-increase'  and  `text-scale-decrease'  in  `face-remap-p.el'
to increase and decrease the height of the default face in the current buffer.

Yet at times, in addition to the increase and decrease in height, I would also like for the 
window to get resized as well.  

I have seen an implementation by Drew, namely  `face-remap+', that makes the current
 window take notice of the text scaling.

But I have noticed that the window frequently resizes in a way that makes a line continue
 on the next line, even when the text originally had some space between the end of the line
and the window edge.  
    
A further problem occurs because standard functions defined in `face-remap.el'  get redefined.

It would be beneficial if emacs had the facility to scale the window with the text scaling in the
current window.  But with the functionality being separate from the current  `text-scale-increase'
and  `text-scale-decrease'.

You've already requested this in a previous bug report (under a
different name).  As with other things you've reported multiple times
(under multiple different names), there's no point to this -- you're
just wasting our time.

(I'm wondering if Emacs is the subject of an ethics-challenged social
studies department -- is there a paper called "How A Free Software
Community Reacts To A Deluge Of Nonsense" in the works?)

Closing.

+1.  If you look in the bash lists the same thing is happening there,
and also with tutanota/ProtonMail addresses.

So it is all waste of time and nonsense, is it !  Screw yourself Lars, 
together with your fellow nitwits.  If it was all nonsense as you say, 
there would not be others trying to do the same thing.  The claim that
it is all about one person with multiple names in simply an attempt to
reject whatever is written.  Guilt, shame, insults and the need to be right
is how you function.

And all the GNU Project Bullshit urging people to communicate in 
ways that are friendly, welcoming and kind.  That is what is actually 
nonsense.  Rules for others only.

Again, screw yourself Lars together with your noise bullshit scene in Oslo.
