> Yes, I agree it is wonderful that one can tweak each font for frame, buffer, etc. as much as one wants, but there ought to be a single wrapper that allows one to say, I want all the font to be 150 pixel height or 1.4 times the current size to move to a new display terminal with different physical pixel size. Hmm, it DOES sound to be a good exercise to use X11 resources, but I suspect there are Windows users who need this global font size change including electric-buffer mode buffer and status line and so non-X11 solution is preferred.

To set the default face height go hunting in 

M-x customize-group RET faces RET

Basic Faces
  Default
    Height
