Whoops! I don't know how I missed that!

I'm still a bit confused. If I understand it correctly, I need to
select both a font and a size. Is there a simple way to just change
the size of the existing font without having to select it in the list?
It seems that there should be. Or it should come up on the current
font automatically, but it doesn't seem to do that as far as I can
tell.
