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. -- Greetings Pete There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists.
