bug#16306: 24.3.50; font change creates blank column on Lucid

28 for the fringe width doesn't look right, this should be 30 since a
character is 15 pixels wide with the new font.  So there could be a bug
in compute_fringe_widths, a function I never touched.  But this still
would not explain a difference of four pixels.

Could you try starting with GDB in x_new_font and tell me which value of
"width" is passed to x_set_window_size_1 and how the latter calculates
"pixelwidth" which it passes to XResizeWindow?

And please also try the following patch (as mentioned earlier I never
understood that calculation and what the value "14" is supposed to
accomplish).  For me it doesn't change anything - maybe it does for you.
