Emacs: customize fonts (generic method and 'fontaine' package)
Raw link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR8JRYr4BKE
In this ~27-minute video, I show how to configure fonts in Emacs. I
explain what “faces” are and how the default, fixed-pitch, and
variable-pitch faces work. I demonstrate the built-in
variable-pitch-mode and then discuss how to change preset font
configurations with the help of the fontaine package (one of my
packages).
Fontaine
Fontaine allows the user to define detailed font configurations and set
them on demand. For example, one can have a regular-editing preset
and another for presentation-mode (these are arbitrary, user-defined
symbols): the former uses small fonts which are optimised for writing,
while the latter applies typefaces that are pleasant to read at
comfortable point sizes.
