You should use "w32" instead. In any case, you are not interested in absolute numerical values, just in being able to distinguish between several different systems, right? So the only thing that should be of interest is that each system returns different values, no matter what those values are. > What I want are two full width frames, an 8 line monospace-font > frame for *Calendar* and a 24 line proportional-font frame both on > the display at once. Now I can only do that by fiddling with the > frames manually. Like I said: use buffer-face-mode, it allows to set a font only for a specific buffer, such as *Calendar* in your case.
