Occasionally I use these functions to increase/decrease the font size in
Emacs and in particular in the modeline.

(defun mw-increase-face-height ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((before-height (face-attribute 'default :height)))
    (cl-loop while (and (< change 42)
                        (= before-height (face-attribute 'default :height)))
             with change = 1
             do (progn
                  (set-face-attribute
                   'default nil
                   :height (max 1 (+ before-height change)))
                  (sit-for 0))
             (cl-incf change))
    (message "face height: %d" (face-attribute 'default :height))))

(defun mw-decrease-face-height ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((before-height (face-attribute 'default :height)))
    (cl-loop while (and (< change 42) (= before-height (face-attribute 'default :height)))
             with change = 1
             do (progn
                  (set-face-attribute
                   'default nil
                   :height (max 1 (- before-height change)))
                  (sit-for 0))
             (cl-incf change)))
  (message "face height: %d" (face-attribute 'default :height)))


HTH and ciao,
