 ** Reset font size
-Font size is best left unfixed by the theme: depending on the display
-size, I will usually need to adjust it so it looks just right.  This
-function sets the font size using exactly that.  It is also added to
-`enable-theme-functions` such that loading a theme will forcefully
-adjust the font size.
+I define a function here that sets the font size for the so-called
+"default" face; this is usually the face that all other faces in a
+theme will inherit from.  Setting it here naturally adjusts all font
+sizes for any face.  I add this function to ~enable-theme-functions~
+such that loading a theme will forcefully adjust the font size, as
+well as ~make-frame-functions~ to ensure new frames get the right font
+size.
+
+I also provide a simple command to boost the size of the font; as it
+plugs into the font reset, it occurs across all frames.
+
+You may ask "what was the motivation for this?"  Simple!  When I had
+font size set in the theme itself, adjusting font size via
+~text-scale-increase~ would screw up the look of [[*Better Mode
+line][my mode line]].  This approach allows me to avoid that
+completely while still setting a reasonable font size.  Best part?  It
+works for any theme!
