Quickstart

(require 'dynamic-fonts)
 
(dynamic-fonts-setup)     ; finds "best" fonts and sets faces:
                          ; default, fixed-pitch, variable-pitch

Explanation

dynamic-fonts.el makes font configuration more portable between machines. When Emacs is starting up, dynamic-fonts chooses fonts for your basic faces based on which fonts are actually available on your system.

You may set a list of fonts in order of preference using customize.
