One can avoid these commands, e.g., by using Fontconfig patterns for the
fonts 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Fonts.html#index-fontconfig-1667).

In any case, your method changes the settings for other applications,
and I was looking for something which defines the settings just for
Emacs.
