In (elisp) Display Property we say this for menu item `Other Display
Specs':
"Displaying an image; magnifying text; moving it up or down on the
page; adjusting the width of spaces within text."
But in node `Other Display Specs' I see nothing about "magnifying text".
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)

`(height HEIGHT)'
This display specification makes the text taller or shorter.

OK, but that's not the same thing as magnifying, which without any qualification
implies magnifying both height and width.
Taller/shorter is not the same as bigger/smaller.
Please try to make this a bit clearer if you can, then feel free to close the
bug. Thx.

I guess we can just refer more generally to changing the height and
other characteristics of text. I've changed it.
