plymouth: Change default fonts

[meisenzahl]

Closes #163

@cassidyjames and @hanaral could you please test this:

You have to open /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth

sudo nano /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth

go to line 134 and replace this

# Make Ubuntu the default sans-serif, and mono fonts.  Ubuntu
# font is always present if we have python-label installed; if
# not installed, then we have no graphical themes that display
# text, so that's ok.
if [ -e /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/Ubuntu-R.ttf ]
then
    sed 's|\(<family>DejaVu Sans</family>\)|<family>Ubuntu</family>\1|;s|\(<family>DejaVu Sans Mono<>
        /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf > "${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf"
    mkdir -p "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu"
    cp -a /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/Ubuntu-R.ttf "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu"
    cp -a /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu/UbuntuMono-R.ttf "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubu>
fi

with this

cp /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf "${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf"

# Make Inter the default sans-serif font
if [ -e /usr/share/fonts/opentype/inter/Inter-Regular.otf ]
then
    sed -i 's|\(<family>DejaVu Sans</family>\)|<family>Inter</family>\1|;' "${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf"
    mkdir -p "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/opentype/inter"
    cp -a /usr/share/fonts/opentype/inter/Inter-Regular.otf "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/opentype/inter"
fi

# Make Roboto Mono the default mono font
if [ -e /usr/share/fonts/truetype/roboto-mono-elementary/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf ]
then
    sed -i 's|\(<family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family>\)|<family>Roboto Mono</family>\1|;' "${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf"
    mkdir -p "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/roboto-mono-elementary"
    cp -a /usr/share/fonts/truetype/roboto-mono-elementary/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/roboto-mono-elementary"
fi

After that you have to rebuild the initramfs with

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Now reboot to check if it worked.

Don't worry, you can reset your plymouth config with

sudo apt reinstall plymouth

Used default fonts from https://github.com/elementary/default-settings/blob/28245e3f3bd08663854be3cf67d29dfa45bcce1a/overrides/default-settings.gschema.override.in#L30-L33

font-name='Inter 9'
gtk-theme='io.elementary.stylesheet.blueberry'
icon-theme='elementary'
monospace-font-name='Roboto Mono 10'
