If I had to guess its because I was unaware of that comman= d when I wrote those functions ;)

then when I am done increase it.

 Why not use `text-scale-adjust`? This function has convenient bindings in t= he form `C-x C-+` to increase text size, `C-x C--` to decrease, and `C-x C-= 0` to reset to default size. Furthermore, once you press any of these, you = can simply use `+`, `-` and `0` for increasing, decreasing and resetting un= til you've found your preferred text size.
