  With `show-font' the user has the means to preview fonts inside of
  Emacs. This can be done in the following ways:

  • The command `show-font-select-preview' uses the minibuffer to prompt
    with completion for a font on the system. The selected font is then
    displayed in a bespoke buffer.

  • The command `show-font-list' produces a list with all the fonts
    available on the system. Each font on display is styled with its
    given character set.

  • The `show-font-mode' is a major mode that gets activated when the
    user visits a `.ttf' or `.otf' file. It will preview with the font,
    if it is installed on the system, else it will provide a helpful
    message and an option to install the font (NOTE 2024-09-10: this
    only works on Linux).

  The previews include a pangram, which is controlled by the user option
  `show-font-pangram'. The default value is a playful take on the more
  familiar “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” phrase. Users
  can select among a few presets, or define their own custom string.

  The function `show-font-pangram-p' is available for those who wish to
  experiment with writing their own pangrams (it is not actually limited
  to the Latin alphabet).

  The user option `show-font-character-sample' provides a more complete
  character set that is intended for use in full buffer previews (i.e.
  not in the list of fonts). It can be set to any string. The default
  value is a set of alphanumeric characters that are commonly used in
  programming: a good monospaced font should render all of them
  unambiguously.

  Finally, the following faces control the appearance of various
  elements.

  • `show-font-small'
  • `show-font-regular'
  • `show-font-medium'
  • `show-font-large'
  • `show-font-title'
  • `show-font-title-small'
  • `show-font-misc'
  • `show-font-button'
