How do you measure? Do you count mode-lines, echo-area/minibuffer?  
And window decoration? The lines times columns area is inside the  
window decoration from the window manager. When you switch to a  
larger or smaller font the frame (X window) changes its size. When  
you use (in TeX or info buffers or in mode-line) fonts with a  
different size the size of the frame or (GNU Emacs) window does not  
change.

There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists. If  
it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.
