Would be nice to see the syntax to set MY_FONT

Very nice. Worked on my Linux box, which makes me believe that your code is
more portable. I did need to adjust it for the
tray/panel/taskbar/statusbar, as
you indicated.
Consider renaming your functions, so that you can more easily remember them
with sentence completion, and so that they better fit a name space.
Instead of fix-frame, etc. try:
frame-adjust
frame-fix
frame-enlarge
While your code worked perfectly for Emacs, I had to adjust XEmacs. I
also do this
(already) in desktop-height-approx().
I'd like to hear from the community, as to which code works better for them.
I remind users to adjust for their XEmacs & taskbars, when using your
code, before
making judgement.
One last tradeoff with your code: the use of set-frame-height() is nice,
in that it
can change an already running Emacs, but, as opposed to
frame-initial-frame-plist()
or setq default-frame-plist(), it appears to be capable to screw up an
emacs -nw
and perhaps other console modes of Emacs/XEmacs.
