Yep, I'd changed that in 0.9.3, because the font-and-window zoom
didn't work well when the window hit the screen edges, and it was
inconsistent with how other programs such as editors or web browsers
deal with font size changes.

No, although enhancement issue 233 asks for Ctrl+Shift+plus/minus/zero
to do this again. Meanwhile, you could follow the font size change
with Alt+F10 to restore the default number of rows and columns.

... and changing the font size on the text page of the options dialog
or manually setting FontHeight in the config file. It can also be
specified on the command line, e.g. '-o FontHeight=11'.
