Is there a way to interactively change aspects of the font for a given buffer or frame? I know i can customize things, but i would like to be able to do something on the order of M-x make-buffer-bold RET and have all the text in the buffer be bold, or M-x increase-font RET and have the text in the buffer increase. I am wondering because i am doing a lot of reading etexts in Emacs and would like to be able to easily modify the font characteristics for easy reading, but not have to change things in custom every time i want to go back to, say, using gnus, where screen real-estate is at a premium. (Come to think of it, something like that might make a nice addition to view-mode...)
