The mode-line customisation do not affect the input suggestion. What I do is C-\ and type e.g. 'hao' and the completion are tiny. The closest I got was to customise the default face by M-x customize-face RET default and setting the height to a larger value. This increaseas /all/ the font sizes though. Probably there is a way to increase only the chinese font sizes, but I have not found a way to do this yet. Any suggestions welcome! -- Johnny
