It certainly sounds like something's messed up (using the default
settings here, I can magnify the text until a single character occupies
the entire window)...

Does it still happen with emacs -Q?

When you position the cursor on one of the characters (both normal and
"magnified") and use `C-u C-x =', what font does it say it's using?
