When you click on that menu item, Emacs pops up a GUI font selection
dialog, where you can increase or decrease the font size.  So if the
font you selected doesn't fit, you can do the same again and pick up a
different size.

IOW, no one said that this has to be done with a key sequence that has
"+" or "-" as its part.

Of course writing a wrapper for that command whcih is bound to mouse
wheel with some modifier should be trivial if that's the main issue
here; patches welcome.  I thought the request was for a non-existing
feature, so I pointed out that it already exists.
