consult-font (preview for setting the frame-font)

[shaneikennedy]

Inspired by how much consult-theme improves the experience of choosing a theme, I'd like to be able to preview a font before applying it

Thanks for your contribution. However I think the command consult-font is a better fit for the wiki, since I consider it not useful enough in general, in comparison to other often used Consult commands, like the search commands. If we compare to consult-theme: I regularly switch themes - maybe once or twice a day, from light to dark, depending on lighting conditions. In contrast, I haven't switched my main font in five years. I do see the utility in having preview when trying different fonts. But after you've selected your font, I assume that you will stick with it for longer. After having used Consult for a few years, in retrospect, I think that some of the more obscure commands should not have been added here, since they are not useful enough in regular usage. Some of these commands were added in the early phase of Consult. The more we add here, the more difficult it becomes for new users to get into the package, and the easier one can get lost. I hope this makes sense. Thanks again.
