Subject: Avoid crashes due to unreasonably large or small text scaling
X-Git-Tag: emacs-25.0.93~46
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e7bcec103073eceecc2621c19e4d290b2d97e8d;p=emacs.git

Avoid crashes due to unreasonably large or small text scaling

* lisp/face-remap.el (text-scale-min-amount)
(text-scale-max-amount): New functions.
(text-scale-set, text-scale-increase): Use them to limit the text
scaling to a reasonable range of values.  (Bug#23259)
