There is actually nothing wrong with the calculation of the fringe
width, because the character width for the new font (Courier-18) is 14
on my side (14 * 80 = 1120).

The value of "width" is 1120 as of the entry to x_set_window_size_1,
and the value of "pixelwidth" is 1166 at the call to XResizeWindow.

It is the window manager "quartz-wm" that reduces the width from 1166
to 1162, probably because it respects the size hint that was set in
update_wm_hints (in widget.c).  There, the value of base_width/height
is calculated using the width/height of the frame *before* resizing.

It doesn't change the behavior for me, either.
