The technique suggested in faq results in the window frame jumping
around, sort of goofy if you ask me.

I use custom settings in the registry.  If you create registry entries
like the following I'm sure you'll get what you're after:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs]
"Emacs.FONT"="-*-Lucida Console-normal-r-*-*-11-82-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1"
"Emacs.GEOMETRY"="90x60"
