When started with epoch -nm, there seems to be a disparity between the
font size display when different screens have different size fonts.
For example, do

  epoch -nm -q &

followed by

  (epoch::font "8x13bold") LFD		(or any small/medium size font)

then C-z 2 followed by

  (epoch::font "8x16") LFD		(or any medium/large size font)

and

  (message "HEY") LFD

then move mouse back and forth between screens.  The "HEY" in the
minibuffer will be chopped in half in the screen with the smaller
font.  It doesn't really matter which screen the (message "HEY") is
evalled in, the result is the same.

This isn't exactly a "problem" per se, but the cause could effect
something else which I have yet to discover.
