23.0.60; Echo Area Face

[Florian Beck]

I was experimenting with Miles Baders new face remapping functionality
and tried to display the minibuffer/echo area in a smaller font size.

This does the job for minibuffer-iteraction:

(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'set-minibuffer-face)

(defun set-minibuffer-face ()
    (set (make-local-variable 'face-remapping-alist)
       '((default :family "DejaVu Sans" :height 0.75))))

but there doesn't seem a way to influence the display of messages
displayed in the minibuffer. I tought the above would take care of it. I
know the minibuffer is somewhat special. How do I set a buffer local
variable for it?
