That looks like a simple a good solution, but it doesn't work for me.
I have this fragment in my init file:
(add-to-list 'face-font-family-alternatives
'("Courier New" "Ubuntu Mono"))
(setq custom-file "my-custom-file.el")
(load custom-file)
(The family "Courier New" exists in Windows and "Ubuntu Mono" exists in Ubuntu)
And my-custom-file.el has this line (among other):
'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "gray72"
:foreground "black" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil
:overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 98
:width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "Courier New"))))
When I start Emacs, I see that the value of
`face-font-family-alternatives' looks fine:
(("Courier New" "Ubuntu Mono")
("Monospace" "courier" "fixed")
("courier" "CMU Typewriter Text" "fixed")
("Sans Serif" "helv" "helvetica" "arial" "fixed")
("helv" "helvetica" "arial" "fixed"))
On Windows, the "Courier New" family is chosen as expected, but on
Ubuntu Emacs doesn't choose "Ubuntu Mono" as expected, but another
face (similar to Courier New, BTW). If I do "M-x customize-face RET
default RET", the family that I see is "TlwgMono".
