Is there a way to do this such that the window dimensions are
maintained even after the call to `custom-set-faces' in my .emacs?

Yes: make that face the default font for GNU Emacs. Then all dimensions will be computed on the basis of this font's properties. Or use a font a bit smaller than that face, so that GNU Emacs is always obscuring the whole screen – which also could lead to the effect that the echo-area/mini-buffer will lie outside the screen.

If you're not confused, you're not paying attention.
