title: Altering the font size for the Emacs minibuffer separately from default emacs?
body: <p>I've been attempting to alter the font / face for the emacs minibuffer separately from emacs default fonts, but without much luck.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, I'm interested in making the minibuffer font size larger for use with the emacs MULE as, with my current font setting or if I'm using emacs on a "netbook" screen, sometimes the character selection options in the MULE are a bit small.</p>
  
  <p>Options easily accessed within emacs are the minibuffer-prompt &amp; minibuffer-prompt-properties, but these are only for command prompts and not the regular minibuffer text.</p>
  
  <p>There seem to be a number of minibuffer variables listed in emacs for creating minibuffer frames, or getting contents from minibuffer windows, etc.. but these do not pertain to altering the minibuffer face. Is it even possible to alter the minibuffer face separately from the default emacs?</p>
  
  <p>An interesting option is the oneonone emacs <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OneOnOneEmacs" rel="noreferrer">http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OneOnOneEmacs</a> project. But could the dedicated minibuffer frame be altered? Also before I alter my current emacs set-up that drastically, I'd hope to be able to just alter fonts first or create my own alterable minibuffer frame, etc...</p>
  
  <p>Any help and/or creative ideas would be greatly appreciated.</p>
