I see no reason to say in the manual anything about this that we don't already do. Every place that talks about pixels either says it's relevant to graphical displays, or discusses stiff that is only relevant to GUI. The doc string of x-display-pixel-width, for example, says: Return the width in pixels of the X display TERMINAL. ^^^^^^^^^ So I don't think we should do anything here, and I'm closing this bug report.
