Keep font consistency across different OSs.

I created this for people who have problems with their fonts not working over different OS’s due to different installation methods used in different OS’s. The purpose of this package is to automatically install font files (.ttf) based on the OS you’re using. Saving you time from manually installing fonts.

Windows 10 / Ubuntu Mono	Ubuntu 14 / Classic Console	Mac OS / Ubuntu Mono

List of TTF fonts you want to use and install in the currnet OS.

;; I just have all my fonts inside my '.emacs.d' directory for sake of simplicity.
;; But you can have your font at any directory you want.
(setq use-ttf-default-ttf-fonts '(;; >> Classic Console <<
                                  "~/.emacs.d/fonts/clacon.ttf"
                                  ;; >> Ubuntu Mono <<
                                  "~/.emacs.d/fonts/UbuntuMono-R.ttf"))

Name of the font you want to use as default. I choose Ubuntu Mono as my default font.

(setq use-ttf-default-ttf-font-name "Ubuntu Mono")

Install fonts into the current OS. The more .ttf file you try to install might take a while, but this function does not block the Emacs' process itself. Furthermore, you will want to call use-ttf-set-default-font function after install all the fonts in the use-ttf-default-ttf-fonts list.

M-x use-ttf-install-fonts

Use the font by use-ttf-default-ttf-font-name variable. This will actually set your Emacs to your target font.

M-x use-ttf-set-default-font
