At least under ver. 21.3 you can add window frame parameters to the 
make-frame function. I have this in my .emacs (for a second frame with a 
non-proportional font):

(make-frame '((name . "courier")
                (top . 1) (left . 1) (width . 98) (height . 17)
                (visibility . icon) ; nil or icon
                (font . "-outline-Courier 
New-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1")))

(select-frame-by-name "courier")

;;Doesn't work in 22.0. Elisp manual (29.3.3 Window Frame Parameters) says 
somewhere that some optional arguments are semi-obsolete. Font is only 
mentioned under color parameters.
