The doc-string of `text-scale-adjust' is slightly misleading.
(defun text-scale-adjust (inc)
"Adjust the height of the default face by INC.
AFAICT this does not change the height of the default face - it affects
how the display engine calculates the height of text when displaying a
buffer current at the time `text-scale-adjust' was called.
I'm not sure whether we want to define the size of a window in terms of
the buffer displayed in that window. One consequence of such a change
would be that the sum of the total height of two windows might no more
equal the total height of their parent window.
If we did, we'd need a way to conveniently specify a buffer's default
character width/height. Then we should probably redefine a number of
functions like `shrink-window' or `split-window' to work in terms of
that value. And maybe specify a mode to control that behavior.

If you told me how you get the "adjusted font size", I could tell you
how to scale the value returned by `window-body-width' accordingly.
