I'm unsure if you've read my original response. The below CSS works
(although, as Jeremy said, it is brittle). I use it in my own wiki with no
issues for the same reasons as you do. It works and *only affects the text
editor in tiddler edit mode*, so unless I'm missing something I believe
that this is what you're been trying to do.
Just paste this as your CSS until Jeremy introduced the new class:
.tc-tiddler-frame textarea.tc-edit-texteditor {
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 30px;
}
Once the class tc-edit-texteditor-body has been introduced in a new TW
update, simply replace the above CSS with the one below (in fact, it's only
the CSS selectors that will need to be replaced):
.tc-edit-texteditor-body {
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 30px;
}
Static or specific font sizes are not the best in a multi-screen world.

I agree Tony, but this can be fixed by using the relative em values instead
of pixels. In addition to that, the CSS selectors can be embedded in @media
queries so that any static/predefined values are only applied based on,
say, screen size (i.e. the device being used), which makes it "responsive".
I frequently use the sidebar breaking point as the reference point to
dynamically adjust what stuff looks like on mobile (you can set a literal
value or transclude one specified in a theme that you have installed):
@media (max-width: {{$:/themes/tiddlywiki/vanilla/metrics/sidebarbreakpoint
}}) {
.tc-edit-texteditor-body {
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 30px;
}
}
Regards,
Hubert
