Font size of line numbers by `linum-mode' follow `text-scale-adjust', though the size of left margin doesn't change. (nlinum also has the same problem) The possible solutions are, (1) To change the width of left margin for line numbers. [attached patch] (2) To fix the font size of line numbers. (set-face-attribute 'linum nil :height (face-attribute 'linum :height nil t)) Solution (2) may need more in case of multi frames with different font size. Regards, Shigeru
