For the mode line, you can diddle the font size etc by customizing the variables mode-line and mode-line-inactive.  Dunno about the echo area.<div>Hope this helps.</div><div>Cheers.</div><div>Fil<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi list members,<br>
<br>
I have been looking around for a way to resize the text displayed in the<br>
echo area. I found that for the buffer, C-x + and C-x - does the sizing<br>
for the buffer alright, but I haven&#39;t found how to do this for the echo<br>
area / mode line?<br>
<br>
Ideally, if there is a clever way to automatically increase the default<br>
text size in the echo area and buffer when changing input mode (to<br>
chinese-tonpy)?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
