Font width and frame width

Font width and frame width

[Lennart Borgman]

How do I get the number of columns on a maximized frame? I expected
the following to give me this in cols, but it does not give the same
value as (frame-width).


;; Run this on a maximized frame
(defun my-display-test ()
  (let* ((display-pixel-width (display-pixel-width))
         (fontname (face-attribute 'default :font))
         (font-info (font-info fontname))
         (font-width  (aref font-info 2))
         (cols (/ display-pixel-width font-width))
         )
    (message "frame-width: %s, cols: %s" (frame-width) cols)
    ))

Does this work for you?

(pixels-to-cols (display-pixel-width))
