FontFor

Find fonts which can show a specified character and preview them in browser.

This is port from my early python script called which_fonts_support , but with some improvements:

Write in Rust, safe and faster
Use Fontconfig library instead of depends on fc-list command installed
Support preview in shell (powered by FreeType ), no browser needed

Install or Update

cargo install -f fontfor
