If you really want to start with a different text size as your normal text size, instead of using “Zoom”, why not just change your default font size?
I routinely work “zoomed” because the font size also affects printing. Though I don’t print often, if I set the font size to be large enough for me to read easily on screen, it’s way too large for efficient printing.

I had not noticed that the zoom size affects the printing. That surprised me as I regularly change the zoom and have a one page report I print weekly. I know that with my printer that a printed page is 67 lines with 94 characters per line. Thus, before printing the weekly thing I check the line length and that it’s 67 or less lines. The printed pages have always been 67 × 94 despite that I may be zoomed in or out at the time.
I verified that at least for my current setup that the zoom level seems to have no affect on the printed results.
A minor Notepad++ printing annoyance for me is that words that DSpellCheck deems to be misspelled have red underlines in the printed pages. Thus I need to remember to
ALT+Ato disable DSpellCheck, print, and thenALT+Ato re-enable automatic spell checking. -

Same here. Perhaps I was unclear.
If I leave the zoom at default and adjust the font size for Default Style to be large enough for me to read easily on my monitor, I would set a font size of 14 or 16 points with Liberation Mono. (14 is bit smaller than I like, 16 is too big, 15 isn’t an option.) Those are too large for printing, though.
If I set Default Style to 12 points, printing is reasonable. If I then zoom in 3 steps, I’m just about where I want to be to read easily on the screen — without affecting printing.
The question I was answering was, “Why not just change your default font size?” Because that does affect printing (and, though I hadn’t remembered until I tried just now, also isn’t as fine-grained as zoom).
