Looks good in the terminal but is an utter disaster in emacs.
Looks good in gvim. ;-)

You refreshed the font cache?
Yes, ran the fc-cache command.
Emacs, for some disastrous reason, inserts extra space between each character so that it looks, well..., very spaced out. It's awful. I wonder why emacs does that!
Did you install the .otf or .ttf fonts?
TTF. What's OTF ?
"OpenType is a format for scalable computer fonts. It was built on its predecessor TrueType, retaining TrueType's basic structure and adding many intricate data structures for prescribing typographic behavior. OpenType is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType BTW I installed .ttf on my system.
