Yes, but when the new size is communicated Emacs reacts to the new frame size
with change_frame_size, and then windows are also resized.

On X Emacs also just uses what its got. But I don't understand how a window
can be made not an integral if the font size. The only thing that is
externally resized is the frame. Windows, mode lines and minibuffer are
handeled, resized and positioned by Emacs. I just can't find any way to
resize/position those based on anything except increments of the font size.
