I use 2 frames under w32, w64, courier (monospace 8 line high) to
display *Calendar* and arial (proportional font) for everything else. Is
there any other way to accomplish this? Is there a way to read display
geometry so I can use the same .emacs for laptops and desktops? Now I
have to mouse around in order to make the monospace frame the minimum
usable height (different on laptops and desktops).
