How would you increase the size of the following glyph?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\font\myfont = "Wingdings"
\begin{document}%
\raggedright
\myfont\XeTeXglyph190
\end{document}
As David Carlisle says in the comments, don't use TeX font loading commands in LaTeX. Load the font properly using LaTeX commands and everything works as you expect. It's helpful to define a \text...{...} command for fonts declared with \newfontfamily. I've shown how to do that too.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontfamily\myfont{Wingdings}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textwing}{\myfont}
\begin{document}%
\raggedright
{\footnotesize\textwing{\XeTeXglyph190}}
{\textwing{\XeTeXglyph190}}
{\large\textwing{\XeTeXglyph190}}
{\Large\textwing{\XeTeXglyph190}}
{\huge\textwing{\XeTeXglyph190}}
{\Huge\textwing{\XeTeXglyph190}}
\end{document}

I guess it should be
\newfontface, unless Wingdings has alternate shapes. One can also say\newfontface{\myfont}{Wingdings}[Scale=2]if the glyphs are to be magnified at every point of usage. – egreg Aug 12 '17 at 9:07
\font\myfont = "Wingdings" at 20pt. – Akira Kakuto Aug 11 '17 at 23:18\fontprimitive then latex size commands such as\largeor\fontsize{..}{..}would work. – David Carlisle Aug 12 '17 at 0:14
