| text-scale-resize-window is a variable defined in `face-remap+.el'.
| 
| Its value is t
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means text scaling resizes the window or frame accordingly.
| For example, if you use `C-x C--' (`text-scale-decrease')' to make the
| text smaller, then the window or frame is made smaller by a similar
| factor.
| 
| If the window is not alone in its frame, then the window is resized.
| Otherwise, the frame is resized (provided you also use library
| `fit-frame.el').  The frame is always resized both horizontally and
| vertically.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
