Change buffer font in Emacs

From Emacs 23.1, you can change the font of current buffer, using buffer-face-set.

You can toggle this using buffer-face-mode or buffer-face-toggle.

For example, change the font of all org mode buffers when openning:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (buffer-face-set :family "LXGW WenKai Mono" :height 140)))

The argument should be a face name or a property list of face attributes and values. If more than on face is listed, that specifies an aggregate face, like in a face text property. Font face attributes are family, height, weight, slant, etc.
