Sorry, I don't understand the question.  In particular, a frame
doesn't have a font; a face does.  Perhaps you are talking about the
font of the frame's 'default' face -- this is what the frame's 'font'
parameter determines, AFAIR.

You mean, like what default-font-height returns?

You mean, like what window-screen-lines returns?

Btw, the OP wanted the width of the window, not its height, AFAIR.
