For zooming, I use `zoom-frm-in' and `zoom-frm-out', bound to `S-mouse1' and
`C-S-mouse-1'. I also use `doremi-font-size', bound to `C-x t z' (zoom with
mouse wheel or arrow keys).
Note: Apparently Emacs 23 breaks some things regarding font zooming. But
Emacs 20 through 22 should be fine.
For changing the font (choosing a bold font etc), I use `icicle-font' -
`bold S-TAB' etc.
In vanilla Emacs on Windows, `S-mouse-1' gives you the standard Windows font
dialog box. There, you can also pick `Bold' and a font size.
