via face remapping (see Lisp changes, below).
+++
*** New commands to change the default face size in the current buffer.
To increase it, type `C-x C-+' or `C-x C-='.  To decrease it, type
`C-x C--'.  To restore the default (global) face size, type `C-x C-0'.
The final key of these commands may be repeated without the leading
`C-x', so `C-x C-= C-= C-=' increases the face height by three steps.
Each step scales the height of the default face by the value of the
variable `text-scale-mode-step'.

** Primary selection changes
+++
*** If `select-active-regions' is t, setting the mark automatically
makes the new region into the primary selection (for interaction with

symbolic notation thanks to auxiliary functions.
+++
*** file-local-variables-alist stores an alist of file-local
variables defined in the current buffer.

** FIXME face-remap

** Process changes
+++
*** The new function `start-file-process' is similar to `start-process',
but obeys file handlers.  The file handler is chosen based on
`default-directory'.  The functions `start-file-process-shell-command'
and `process-file-shell-command' are also new; they call internally
`start-file-process' and `process-file', respectively.

To increase it, type `C-x C-+' or `C-x C-='.  To decrease it, type
`C-x C--'.  To restore the default (global) face size, type `C-x C-0'.
These work via Text Scale mode, a new minor mode.

The final key in the above commands may be repeated without the
leading `C-x', e.g. `C-x C-= C-= C-=' increases the face height by
three steps.  Each step scales the height of the default face by the
value of the variable `text-scale-mode-step'.

*** The command `buffer-face-mode' prompts for a face name, and remaps
the default face in the current buffer to that specified face.  The
command `variable-pitch-mode' turns on Buffer Face mode for the
`variable-pitch' face.

** Primary selection changes

*** If `select-active-regions' is t, setting the mark automatically
makes the new region into the primary selection (for interaction with

symbolic notation thanks to auxiliary functions.
+++
*** file-local-variables-alist stores an alist of file-local
variables defined in the current buffer.

** Face-remapping

*** Each face can be remapped to a different face definition using the
variable `face-remapping-alist'.  This is an alist that maps faces to
replacement definitions (which can be face names, lists of face names,
or attribute/value plists.  If this variable is buffer-local, the
remapping occurs only in that buffer.

*** text-scale-mode remaps the default face to a larger or smaller
size in the current buffer. This feature is used by the Buffer Face
menu and the new `C-x C-+', `C-x C--', and `C-x C-0' commands (see
Editing Changes, above).

*** New functions:

**** `face-remap-add-relative' adds a face remapping entry to the
current buffer.

**** ``face-remap-remove-relative' removes a face remapping entry from
the current buffer.

**** `face-remap-reset-base' restores a face to its global definition.

**** `face-remap-set-base' sets the base remapping of a face.

** Process changes +++
*** The new function `start-file-process' is similar to `start-process',
but obeys file handlers.  The file handler is chosen based on
`default-directory'.  The functions `start-file-process-shell-command'
and `process-file-shell-command' are also new; they call internally
`start-file-process' and `process-file', respectively.
