Programmatically setting Emacs frame size

The initial emacs window size depends on the number of columns and the font (family+size). I set those parameters in my .emacs using :

(setq default-frame-alist
      '((font . "Menlo-13")
        (width . 80)))

When emacs starts, the initial window opens with a size calculated using the default internal font and then resizes itself when the .emacs is read.

Do you know any tip to avoid this resize.

I use emacs for MacOSX. (http://emacsformacosx.com/)

Thank you

  • Thanks, this works .. `open -n -a Emacs --args --font "Menlo-13"` – fxbois Sep 08 '11 at 18:52

You can set both default-frame-alist and initial-frame-alist. If you set them to the same value I think you will see no change from one to the other.
