The only related font configurations that I can think of are the following:

(defcustom init-font-families
   '("Powerline Consolas"
     "Consolas for Powerline"
     "Consolas"
     ;;
     "Powerline Inconsolata-g"
     "Inconsolata-g for Powerline"
     "Inconsolata-g"
     ;;
     "Powerline Source Code Pro"
     "Source Code Pro for Powerline"
     "Source Code Pro"
     ;;
     "Powerline DejaVu Sans Mono"
     "DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline"
     "DejaVu Sans Mono"
     ;;
     "Monospace")
   "List of font families."
   :group 'init
   :type 'list)

(defcustom init-font-size
   12
   "Size of font."
   :group 'init
   :type 'integer)

   (defun init-frame-font-setup
       (&optional frame)
     (unless frame (setq frame (selected-frame)))
     (with-selected-frame frame
       (when (and (not noninteractive) (init-display-graphic-p))
         (let ((font (assoc 'font default-frame-alist)))
           (if font
               (when (eq frame frame-initial-frame)
                 (set-frame-font font t t)
                 (unless noninteractive
                   (message "Font: `%s'" font)))
             (let ((font-family (catch 'break
                                  (dolist (font-family init-font-families)
                                    (when (member font-family
                                                  (font-family-list))
                                      (throw 'break font-family))))))
               (setq font (when font-family
                            (format "%s-%d" font-family init-font-size))))
             (when font
               (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist `(font . ,font))
               (set-frame-font font t t)
               (unless noninteractive
                 (message "Font: `%s'" font))))))))

   (unless (or noninteractive (daemonp))
     (when (init-display-graphic-p)
       (init-frame-font-setup)))

   (dolist (hook '(after-make-frame-functions
                   focus-in-hook))
     (add-hook hook #'init-frame-font-setup))

With what I consistently get output

Font: ‘Consolas-12’

for several years already on various Linux systems that I'm using so far.
