I was referring only to your earlier statement:

You didn't tell us which version of Emacs you're using so I can't even
tell whether ‘dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event’ really does
something on your system.  In any case, I would start out disregarding
the window size problem and getting the right font first.  Fixing the
frame/window size afterwards should be straightforward.
