Upgrade to 24.5, the latest, and you will have the first function as
well.

I don't understand what that means, nor what you wanted to achieve,
and how exactly did you try achieving that via
display-mm-dimensions-alist. Please show more of your code.

Again, I fail to follow. Where I'm typing this, I get
M-: (display-mm-height) RET => 180
What doesn't work for you? Was this the function you tried?

The display name, only significant on X.

It does.

Not sure what is the question, exactly. You said back then:

Other than what? other than using a separate frame? Then I suggest to
have a look at buffer-face-mode and its commands. That's what is at
work when you click Shift-mouse-1 and select a font for the current
buffer.
