- frame-text-cols from my init script is still ends up at 84 cols.

- 'emacs -Q' has its height shrinking again now.

- Its width is shrinking too, at certain widths. Not at 80 cols.

So I double-checked -- and both behaviors with the latest patch match 
what the current (unpatched) emacs-29 does. I just hadn't noticed width 
shrinking because I haven't tried to resize the frame first.

Attached are the contents of *foo* again after

(set-frame-width nil 102) ; x1
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 110 :family
"InconsolataLGC") ; x6
