Numpad characters don't work in keybindings mappings (but work in general)
For my terminal Vim 8.0, I have downloaded this plugin that makes changing font size on the fly easy:
https://github.com/drmikehenry/vim-fontsize
Following the instructions, here is how I decided to define my mappings for changing fonts:
nmap <silent> <C>+ <Plug>FontsizeInc
nmap <silent> <C-kPlus> <Plug>FontsizeDec
nmap <silent> <C>- <Plug>FontsizeDec
nmap <silent> <C-kMinus> <Plug>FontsizeDec
nmap <silent> <C>0 <Plug>FontsizeDefault
However, to my surprise, the functionalities are only working for the + and - characters that are not in the NumPad are of my keyboard. When I hit the combinations using + or - form the NumPad, nothing happens. And otherwise, my Vim recognizes the NumPad just normally.
How could I perhaps solve this issue?

If I understand your question right, you are working in a terminal. Vim can't change the font size in a terminal. What you see, when pressing Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-- is a functionality of the terminal.
Try it without starting vim.
The plugin you downloaded just changes the guifont.
For this I have the following in my gvimrc:
command! -bar -nargs=0 BiggerFont :let &guifont = substitute(&guifont,'d+$','=submatch(0)+1','')
command! -bar -nargs=0 SmallerFont :let &guifont = substitute(&guifont,'d+$','=submatch(0)-1','')
nnoremap <M--> :SmallerFont<CR>
nnoremap <M-+> :BiggerFont<CR>
Stolen from tpope.
BTW: The {lhs} of the mappings <C>+, <C>- and <C>0 all map a sequence of 4 characters.
BTW-2: I'm not sure that Ctrl-+ and Ctrl-- is mappable at all. If I go into insert mode in gVim and enter Ctrl-V + Ctrl-+ I just get a single +. If I use Ctrl-V + Ctrl-L I get ^L.

Thanks, I corrected the mappings, getting rid of that part. Still, the same thing: it does work with<C>+and<C>-, so it can change the fonts - I don't think it is only the terminal, because if I comment those lines out the re-sizing of the font stops working. It just does not work with the numpad keys
