I meant `emoji-zoom-increase' and I was looking for what you wrote

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Yes, it was intentional.  I have this in my .emacs:

(custom-set-faces
 '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro Medium"
                :foundry "outline"
                :slant normal
                :weight medium
                :height 90
                :width normal)))))

I reduced the size of Emojis in order to harmonize the line height
between the lines with and without Emojis.  I wasn't aware that :size
means "fixed size".

Is there another way to tell Emacs "Use a reduced size for Emojis, but
be flexible when requested otherwise?"  So basically behave like the
definition above for `default'?
