2 Installation
══════════════

2.1 GNU ELPA package
────────────────────

  The package is available as `fontaine'.  Simply do:

  ┌────
  │ M-x package-refresh-contents
  │ M-x package-install
  └────


  And search for it.

  GNU ELPA provides the latest stable release.  Those who prefer to
  follow the development process in order to report bugs or suggest
  changes, can use the version of the package from the GNU-devel ELPA
  archive.  Read:
  <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-05-13-emacs-elpa-devel/>.


2.2 Manual installation
───────────────────────

  Assuming your Emacs files are found in `~/.emacs.d/', execute the
  following commands in a shell prompt:

  ┌────
  │ cd ~/.emacs.d
  │ 
  │ # Create a directory for manually-installed packages
  │ mkdir manual-packages
  │ 
  │ # Go to the new directory
  │ cd manual-packages
  │ 
  │ # Clone this repo, naming it "fontaine"
  │ git clone https://github.com/protesilaos/fontaine fontaine
  └────

  Finally, in your `init.el' (or equivalent) evaluate this:

  ┌────
  │ ;; Make Elisp files in that directory available to the user.
  │ (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/manual-packages/fontaine")
  └────

  Everything is in place to set up the package.

3.1 Persist font configurations on theme switch
───────────────────────────────────────────────

  [ Since version `2.0.0', there exists the `fontaine-mode' which does
    this automatically. The `fontaine-apply-current-preset' is obsolete
    as of version `3.0.0' because Fontaine is now implemented as a
    “theme” and thus does not get overwritten by other themes. ]

  Themes re-apply face definitions when they are loaded.  This is
  necessary to render the theme.  For certain faces, such as `bold' and
  `italic', it means that their font family may be reset (depending on
  the particularities of the theme).

  To avoid such a potential problem, we can arrange to restore the
  current font preset which was applied by `fontaine-set-preset'.
  Fontaine provides the command `fontaine-apply-current-preset'. It can
  either be called interactively after loading a theme or be assigned to
  a hook that is ran at the post `load-theme' phase.

[Theme-agnostic hook before Emacs 29] See section 3.4


3.2 Persist frame size on non-auto tiling window managers
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  [ Fontaine does this automatically as of 3.1.0-dev. ]

  If using a non-tiling window manager e.g. GNOME/KDE, when a new preset
  is applied the frame may be resized in order to preserve the number of
  columns or lines it displays.  To disable this feature set
  `frame-inhibit-implied-resize' to `t'.

  ┌────
  │ (setq frame-inhibit-implied-resize t)
  └────


3.3 Theme-agnostic hook for Emacs 29 or higher
──────────────────────────────────────────────

  [ Since version `2.0.0', there exists the `fontaine-mode' which does
    this automatically. The `fontaine-apply-current-preset' is obsolete
    as of version `3.0.0' because Fontaine is now implemented as a
    “theme” and thus does not get overwritten by other themes. ]

  Emacs 29 provides the `enable-theme-functions', which we can use to
  persist or restore a font preset thus ([Persist font configurations on
  theme switch]):

  ┌────
  │ (add-hook 'enable-theme-functions #'fontaine-apply-current-preset)
  └────


[Persist font configurations on theme switch] See section 3.1


3.4 Theme-agnostic hook before Emacs 29
───────────────────────────────────────

  [ Since version `2.0.0', there exists the `fontaine-mode' which does
    this automatically. The `fontaine-apply-current-preset' is obsolete
    as of version `3.0.0' because Fontaine is now implemented as a
    “theme” and thus does not get overwritten by other themes. ]

  For versions of Emacs before 29, there is no built-in theme-agnostic
  solution to persisting or restoring a font preset ([Theme-agnostic
  hook for Emacs 29 or higher]).

  Themes have to specify a hook that is called by their relevant
  commands at the post-theme-load phase. This can also be done in a
  generic way:

  ┌────
  │ ;; Set up the `after-enable-theme-hook'
  │ (defvar after-enable-theme-hook nil
  │   "Normal hook run after enabling a theme.")
  │ 
  │ (defun run-after-enable-theme-hook (&rest _args)
  │   "Run `after-enable-theme-hook'."
  │   (run-hooks 'after-enable-theme-hook))
  │ 
  │ (advice-add 'enable-theme :after #'run-after-enable-theme-hook)
  └────

  And then simply use that hook:

  ┌────
  │ (add-hook 'after-enable-theme-hook #'fontaine-apply-current-preset)
  └────

4 Overview
══════════

  Fontaine lets the user specify presets of font configurations and set
  them on demand on graphical Emacs frames.  The user option
  `fontaine-presets' holds all such presets.

  Presets consist of a list of properties that govern the family,
  weight, height, and slant of the faces listed in the value of the
  variable `fontaine-faces'.

  Each preset is identified by a user-defined symbol as the `car' of a
  property list. It looks like this (check the default value of
  `fontaine-presets' for how everything is pieced together):

  ┌────
  │ (regular
  │  ;; I keep all properties for didactic purposes, but most can be
  │  ;; omitted.  See the fontaine manual for the technicalities:
  │  ;; <https://protesilaos.com/emacs/fontaine>.
  │  :default-family "Monospace"
  │  :default-weight regular
  │  :default-slant normal
  │  :default-width normal
  │  :default-height 100
  │ 
  │  :fixed-pitch-family nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-weight nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-slant nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-width nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :fixed-pitch-serif-family nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-serif-weight nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-serif-slant nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-serif-width nil
  │  :fixed-pitch-serif-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :variable-pitch-family "Sans"
  │  :variable-pitch-weight nil
  │  :variable-pitch-slant nil
  │  :variable-pitch-width nil
  │  :variable-pitch-height 1.0

  │ 
  │  :mode-line-inactive-family nil
  │  :mode-line-inactive-weight nil
  │  :mode-line-inactive-slant nil
  │  :mode-line-inactive-width nil
  │  :mode-line-inactive-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :header-line-family nil
  │  :header-line-weight nil
  │  :header-line-slant nil
  │  :header-line-width nil
  │  :header-line-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :line-number-family nil
  │  :line-number-weight nil
  │  :line-number-slant nil
  │  :line-number-width nil
  │  :line-number-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :tab-bar-family nil
  │  :tab-bar-weight nil
  │  :tab-bar-slant nil
  │  :tab-bar-width nil
  │  :tab-bar-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :tab-line-family nil
  │  :tab-line-weight nil
  │  :tab-line-slant nil
  │  :tab-line-width nil
  │  :tab-line-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :bold-family nil
  │  :bold-slant nil
  │  :bold-weight bold
  │  :bold-width nil
  │  :bold-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :italic-family nil
  │  :italic-weight nil
  │  :italic-slant italic
  │  :italic-width nil
  │  :italic-height 1.0
  │ 
  │  :line-spacing nil)
  └────

  Multiple presets form an alist (a list of lists), like this:

  ┌────
  │ '((regular
  │    :default-family "Monospace"
  │    ;; More properties here
  │    )
  │   (medium
  │    :default-family "Aporetic Serif Mono")
  │   ;; More presets here
  │   )
  └────

  The doc string of `fontaine-presets' explains all properties in detail
  and documents some important caveats or information about font
  settings in Emacs.

  [Shared and implicit fallback values for presets].

  The command `fontaine-set-preset' applies the desired preset. If
  called interactively, it produces a minibuffer prompt with completion
  among the available presets. When called from Lisp, it requires a
  `PRESET' argument, such as:

  ┌────
  │ (fontaine-set-preset 'regular)
  └────

  `fontaine-set-preset' is to change fonts across all graphical frames.

  As a final step, `fontaine-set-preset' calls the
  `fontaine-set-preset-hook'.

  The latest value of `fontaine-set-preset' is stored in a file whose
  location is defined in `fontaine-latest-state-file' (normally part of
  the `.emacs.d' directory).  Saving is done by the function
  `fontaine-store-latest-preset', which should be assigned to a hook
  (e.g. `kill-emacs-hook').  To restore that value, the user can call
  the function `fontaine-restore-latest-preset' (such as by adding it to
  their init file).

  The command `fontaine-toggle-preset' can toggle between the last two
  valid presets, as set by `fontaine-set-preset'. If it cannot find two
  different presets, then it prompts using minibuffer completion. As a
  final step, it calls the `fontaine-set-preset-hook'.

  For users of the `no-littering' package, `fontaine-latest-state-file'
  is not stored in their `.emacs.d', but in a standard directory
  instead: <https://github.com/emacscollective/no-littering>.

  As for the name of this package, it is the French word for “fountain”
  which, in turn, is what the font or source is.  However, I will not
  blame you if you can only interpret it as a descriptive acronym: FONTs
  Are Irrelevant in Non-graphical Emacs (because that is actually true).


[Shared and implicit fallback values for presets] See section 4.1

4.1 Shared and implicit fallback values for presets
───────────────────────────────────────────────────

  [Inherit the properties of another named preset].

  The user option `fontaine-presets' may look like this (though check
  its default value before you make any edits):

  ┌────
  │ ;; NOTE this example does not include all the properties that
  │ ;; `fontaine-presets' accepts.
  │ (setq fontaine-presets
  │       '((regular
  │          :default-family "Hack"
  │          :default-weight normal
  │          :default-height 100
  │          :fixed-pitch-family "Fira Code"
  │          :fixed-pitch-weight nil ; falls back to :default-weight
  │          :fixed-pitch-height 1.0
  │          :variable-pitch-family "Noto Sans"
  │          :variable-pitch-weight normal
  │          :variable-pitch-height 1.0
  │          :bold-family nil ; use whatever the underlying face has
  │          :bold-weight bold
  │          :italic-family "Source Code Pro"
  │          :italic-slant italic
  │          :line-spacing 1)
  │         (large
  │          :default-family "Aporetic Sans Mono"
  │          :default-weight normal
  │          :default-height 150
  │          :fixed-pitch-family nil ; falls back to :default-family
  │          :fixed-pitch-weight nil ; falls back to :default-weight
  │          :fixed-pitch-height 1.0
  │          :variable-pitch-family "FiraGO"
  │          :variable-pitch-weight normal
  │          :variable-pitch-height 1.05
  │          :bold-family nil ; use whatever the underlying face has
  │          :bold-weight bold
  │          :italic-family nil ; use whatever the underlying face has
  │          :italic-slant italic
  │          :line-spacing 1)))
  └────

  Notice that not all properties need to be specified, as they have
  reasonable fallback values.  The above can be written thus (removed
  lines are left empty for didactic purposes):

  ┌────
  │ (setq fontaine-presets
  │       '((regular
  │          :default-family "Hack"
  │ 
  │          :default-height 100
  │          :fixed-pitch-family "Fira Code"
  │ 
  │ 
  │          :variable-pitch-family "Noto Sans"
  │ 
  │ 
  │ 
  │ 
  │          :italic-family "Source Code Pro"
  │ 
  │          :line-spacing 1)
  │         (large
  │          :default-family "Aporetic Sans Mono"
  │ 
  │          :default-height 150
  │ 
  │ 
  │ 
  │          :variable-pitch-family "FiraGO"
  │ 
  │ 
  │ 
  │ 
  │ 
  │ 
  │          :line-spacing 1)))
  └────

  Without the empty lines, we have this, which yields the same results
  as the first example:

  ┌────
  │ (setq fontaine-presets
  │       '((regular
  │          :default-family "Hack"
  │          :default-height 100
  │          :fixed-pitch-family "Fira Code"
  │          :variable-pitch-family "Noto Sans"
  │          :italic-family "Source Code Pro"
  │          :line-spacing 1)
  │         (large
  │          :default-family "Aporetic Sans Mono"
  │          :default-height 150
  │          :variable-pitch-family "FiraGO"
  │          :line-spacing 1)))
  └────

  We call the properties of the removed lines “implicit fallback
  values”.

  This already shows us that the value of `fontaine-presets' does not
  need to be extensive.  To further improve its conciseness, it accepts
  a special preset that provides a list of “shared fallback properties”:
  the `t' preset.  This one is used to define properties that are common
  to multiple presets, such as the `regular' and `large' we have
  illustrated thus far.  Here is how verbose presets can be expressed
  succinctly:

  ┌────
  │ ;; NOTE this example does not include all the properties that
  │ ;; `fontaine-presets' accepts.
  │ 
  │ ;; Notice the duplication of properties and how we will avoid it.
  │ (setq fontaine-presets
  │       '((regular
  │          :default-family "Aporetic Sans Mono"
  │          :default-weight normal
  │          :default-height 100
  │          :fixed-pitch-family nil ; falls back to :default-family
  │          :fixed-pitch-weight nil ; falls back to :default-weight
  │          :fixed-pitch-height 1.0
  │          :variable-pitch-family "FiraGO"
  │          :variable-pitch-weight normal
  │          :variable-pitch-height 1.05
  │          :bold-family nil ; use whatever the underlying face has
  │          :bold-weight bold
  │          :italic-family nil
  │          :italic-slant italic
  │          :line-spacing nil)
  │         (medium

  The `t' preset does not need to explicitly cover all properties.  It
  can rely on the aforementioned “implicit fallback values” to further
  reduce its verbosity (though the user can always write all properties
  if they intend to change their values).  We then have this
  transformation:

  │ (setq fontaine-presets
  │       '((regular
  │          :default-height 100)

4.2 Inherit the properties of another named preset
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

  [Shared and implicit fallback values for presets].

  When defining multiple presets, we may need to duplicate properties
  and then make tweaks to individual values.  Suppose we want to have
  two distinct presets for presentations: one is for coding related
  demonstrations and the other for prose.  Both must have some common
  styles, but must define distinct font families each of which is
  suitable for the given task.  In this case, we do not want to fall
  back to the generic `t' preset (per the default behaviour) and we also
  do not wish to duplicate properties manually, potentially making
  mistakes in the process.  Fontaine thus provides a method of
  inheriting a named preset’s properties by using the `:inherit'
  property with a value that references the name of another preset
  (technically, the `car' of that list).  Here is the idea:

  ┌────
  │ (setq fontaine-presets
  │       '((regular
  │          :default-height 100)
  │         (code-demo
  │          :default-family "Source Code Pro"
  │          :default-weight semilight
  │          :default-height 170
  │          :variable-pitch-family "Sans"
  │          :bold-weight extrabold)
  │         (prose-demo
  │          :inherit code-demo ; copy the `code-demo' properties
  │          :default-family "Sans"
  │          :variable-pitch-family "Serif"
  │          :default-height 220)
  │         (t
  │          :default-family "Monospace"
  │          ;; more generic fallback properties here...
  │          )))
  └────

  In this scenario, the `regular' preset gets all its properties from
  the `t' preset.  We omit them here in the interest of brevity (see the
  default value of `fontaine-presets' and its documentation for the
  details).  In turn, the `code-demo' specifies more properties and
  falls back to `t' for any property not explicitly referenced therein.
  Finally, the `prose-demo' copies everything in `code-demo', overrides
  every property it specifies, and falls back to `t' for every other
  property.

  In the interest of simplicity, Fontaine does not support recursive
  inheritance.  If there is a compelling need for it, we can add it in
  future versions.
