I don't have either of those files. From what I've read, the first
step in debugging is to run emacs without the .emacs file. I did this
with:
$ emacs --no-init-file
The editing area changed from 63x31 to 79x35, much closer to what I
wanted. Emacs also had a smaller font but a brighter background.
The conclusion is inescapable: something in my .emacs file was making
those changes. I removed these lines:
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "#AE00B200C300" :foreground "#"
:inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 120
:width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "DejaVu Sans Mono")
After that, the screen looked the same as with --no-init-file . I
suspect that what I'm seeing now are built-in emacs defaults. This is
a great improvement.
Then maybe there is something beneath .config/, perhaps marco has some
geometry settings stored for emacs sessions.
There are many things below .config . The ones from August will be
after the update. The ones from 2017 and 2018 will be from my previous
OI version. The ones from 2010 will be from an even older version:

You can try this:
Enter the following line in a buffer (eg. scratch), position the cursor
at the end:
(setq default-frame-alist '((left . 0) (top . 0) (width . 80) (height .
30)))
Then press C-x X-e (eval-last-sexp) followed by C-x 5 2
(make-frame-command). This should open a new frame with the given width
and height.
That seemed to work. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
Alternatively, you can change the actual frame:
(set-frame-width (selected-frame) 80)
(set-frame-height (selected-frame) 30)
and press C-x C-e (for each line).
That works too. In fact, by making them 81 and 37, I can enlarge the
screen to 80x36 like I want it. When I put those two lines in my
.emacs file, nothing happens. I assume they are not being executed.
Your code should work but ~/.emacs is not the only possible init file.
Emacs looks for your init file using the filenames ~/.emacs,
~/.emacs.el, or ~/.emacs.d/init.el.
I suggest to make sure you have only one file and then create an .emacs
file with only
your two lines
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 36))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 80))
and see what happens. If it works you can add your other settings peu à peu.

Andreas
