Thanks, Jason. Very clear.

The pixel-height-only change "worked" in Emacs 20, and I was thinking it
should also "work" as is in 21 - but you are right: my code was not
complete/correct. - Drew

You have only changed the pixel height of the font, without changing
the height in points, or the width of the font...If you replace the
other size specifiers with wildcards, the frame width changes as
expected:
(set-frame-font "-outline-Lucida
Console-normal-r-normal-normal-18-*-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1")
