bug#8242: Issue with help menu and set-frame-font

It should also work to set `split-height-threshold' to nil in your case.

Do you mean that

  (set-frame-font "Menlo-12" t)

resizes the frame as

  (set-frame-font "Menlo-12")

does?  Or do you mean that with a non-maximized frame splitting doesn't
occur irrespective of the font chosen?
