In some ways I find it works pretty well, but in a few respects is disappointing: (1) As you zoom in it does not automatically increase the size of the window, so you have fewer columns displayed. (2) when I try to re-size the window (for example, to try to maintain a fixed display of 80 columns), my window manager (icewm) tells me the wrong effective window width. (3) text-scale-adjust only effects the current window, but if you need to increase the size of text in one window, it's likely you're going to want it in all of them (at least in the current frame). Are there any standard fixes for these problems kicking around?
