Thanks, but isn't it better to control the amount of scaling by
changing the value of text-scale-mode-step instead?  Having to scroll
the wheel several clicks without any effect would be confusing, I
think.  And text-scale-mode-step is already a user variable that is
available for this purpose.  So maybe you should try decreasing the
default value to, say, 1.02, to see if that satisfies your needs.
