When Emacs is your ultimate program you use for everything then
it's quite natural to make it full-screen!

Anyhow, the problem Joe reported was in his .emacs:

(custom-set-faces
 '(default ((t (:weight normal :slant normal :height 240
                :width normal :family "fixed")))))

(set-frame-font "6x12")

and font size never changes.
