I would do something like this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; set default font for all frames
(when window-system
(cond
((font-info "Courier New")
(modify-all-frames-parameters '((font . "Courier New-8"))))
((font-info "Ubuntu Mono")
(modify-all-frames-parameters '((font . "Ubuntu Mono-9"))))))
#+end_src
Please check the accuracy of the font names...
Best regards,
Seb
