Using 21.4a on X. Options -> Customize has faces, but nothing to resize.

Try S-mouse-1 (shift mouse-1 or shift-left mouse button).

Thank you.  Is that documented somewhere?
It would be even better to set it in a config file.

Yes. It is somewhere in *info* (or for example 'C-h a font RET').  
There are also X resources for setting fonts (not sure if they all  
work):

Emacs*font:             -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-m-*- 
iso10646-1
Emacs.menu*.font:       -*-lucida-bold-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

iso10646-1

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-de/ResourceFiles is a bit  
incomplete, Emacs info, too, is not exhaustive (when I looked into it  
one or two years ago). Strings on the GNU Emacs binary only reveals:

	%s.pane.menubar*font%s: %s
	%s.%s*font%s: %s
	Emacs.dialog*.font: %s
	*XlwMenu*font: %s

With some fantasy one can fill-in some conceptions in place of %s ...

And there are additionally:

           (border-color     . "#4e3832")
           (foreground-color . "grey10")
           (background-color . "AliceBlue")
           (active-alpha     . 0.875)
           (inactive-alpha   . 0.75)
           (font . "fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter")
           (top . 5) (left . 500) (width . 106) (height . 50))
         )
         (setq default-frame-alist '(
           (background-color     . "LightCyan1")
           (cursor-color         . "purple")
           (cursor-type          . box)
           (foreground-color     . "grey10")
           (vertical-scroll-bars . left)
           (active-alpha         . 0.875)
           (inactive-alpha       . 0.75)
           (font . "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*-11-*-iso10646-1")
           (top . 25) (left . 50) (width . 89) (height . 50))

The lines with alpha (transparency) do not work regularly, only some  
Emacs flavours follow them.

With create-fontset-from-fontset-spec you can create your own  
fontsets which will appear in the fonts pop-up menu.

In addition to the info that you've already received in reply to your
question, here's another useful resource for questions liket this: Go to
Emacs Wiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SiteMap) and type `font
size' into the Search box.

One of the first hits is the following page, which has lots of good info on
setting the font size (config) and changing it dynamically:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SetFonts.

Thanks for all the help. I don't remember where on the web it finally 
showed up, but this is working:

(set-frame-font "9x15")

The docs don't seem very user-friendly. Humongous html files at gnu.org,
and I couldn't find anything I wanted in emacs or on the web page.
