Got it, thanks.  Is this documented?  I just looked again at the
references to text-scale-adjust and face customization in the Emacs user
manual and the sections on face attributes and face remapping in the
Elisp manual, and saw nothing from which I could infer the correct
procedure in this case (though the doc of face remapping is complicated,
so perhaps I missed or misunderstood the relevant information).
