Does anyone know which variables I have to set? You could start emacs with the -g 83x53 command line option. You could call (set-frame-width (selected-frame) 83) and (set-frame height (selected-frame) 53) in your .emacs file. You could add (width . 83) and (height . 53) to the default-frame-alist and/or initial-frame-alist variables. You could set the Emacs.geometry: =83x53 resource in your .Xdefaults file. -- Kevin Rodgers
