With Vera Sans Mono, and using a smaller scale step (1.07) I get all
point sizes from 13 to 24 except for 19 and 23. Goint down it hits
every size, of course, though some of them appear twice because in
some steps the scaling is not big enough to reduce the font. All in
all, is quite useful and simple. Thanks.

A couple of small nitpicks:

 - the variables `text-scale-mode-lighter',
`text-scale-mode-remapping', `text-scale-mode-amount' and
`variable-pitch-mode-remapping' would  make more sense as
automatically buffer local, as they are always buffer-local'ized when
used.

 - the lighter for variable-pitch-mode is a bit of redundant, isn't
it? Either the user has a variable-pitch face different from the
default one (and so he doesn't need the reminder in the modeline), or
the mode is not going to be useful anyway...
