bug#64809: 29.1; Initial frame is wrong size when dimensions specified in init file

[David Fiander <david@fiander.info>]

I normally run emacs as a daemon, and this problem appears for the first 
frame that I create with the daemon, but all subsequent frames are fine. 
Adding a (reconsider-frame-fonts) to my complicated "pick the right face 
& size" function in my init file pretty much eliminates the problem for 
me, even on the initial frame.
