--font-family "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font" - not found (locally installed, personal fonts problem?)

When invoking agg --font-family "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font" starship.cast starship.cast.gif, I get Error: no faces matching font family CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font
"CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font" is, effectively, the Cascadia Console font - downloaded enriched as a nerd font from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads
This has been installed as a personal font on my KDE Plasma 5.25 desktop (Fedora 36); physically this font and its siblings live in ~/.fonts/c, as
~/.fonts/c

Is this a case of these fonts being installed as personal fonts?
Version affected is
agg --version
agg 1.3.0
compiled from source (43977bf, 2022-09-17).
Somehow I managed to miss the --font-dir option; agg --font-dir "${HOME}/.fonts" --font-family "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font" starship.cast starship.cast.gif works.
Perhaps it makes sense to add {$HOME}/.fonts as a default font directory?
Incidentally, /etc/fonts/fonts.conf contains, among other settings,
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1</dir> <dir>/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
<dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir>
<!-- the following element will be removed in the future -->
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
Perhaps fontdb (https://crates.io/crates/fontdb) parsing of font configuration does not the right thing? (just going by poking on the agg sources)
same:
my font word "❯" (unicode) can't show
@shoffmeister sorry to bother you, but how did you manage to make it work using Nerd Fonts?
This is my closest try:
❯ agg --theme asciinema --font-dir "/usr/local/share/fonts" --font-family "JetBrains Mono Nerd Font" --fps-cap 60 --font-size 21 /tmp/tmpznwgyw6l-ascii.cast --renderer resvg output.gif

JetBrains_Mono_Thin_Nerd_Font_Complete_Mono.ttfJetBrainsMono.zip downloaded from here installed for the system using KDE font management. I removed fonts with Windows in the name because I use endeavourOS.
Do you have any idea, what am I doing wrong?
Update — this works:
agg --theme asciinema --font-family "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font" --fps-cap 60 --font-size 21 --renderer resvg demo.cast output.gifI checked the name inside my LibreOffice Writer.
same: my font word "❯" (unicode) can't show
add --renderer "resvg" resolved
I find compatibility will be better and not many issues with resvg
Both renderers, default fontdue and the alternative resvg, use the same font loading code so there should be no difference in font loading whatsoever. Are you sure --renderer "resvg" fixed it, or maybe you change something else at the same time?

Not modify other information, I just want to display font word "❯" (unicode) you can have try.
fontdue NO, resvg YES
But gif generated by using resvg will be a little blurry, I don't know how to deal with it
I've just released 1.4.0 with much improved font loading and rendering behaviour. Please give it a try. Also see new Fonts section in README.
The problem of fonts in ~/.fonts not being used was in one of the dependencies, fontdb, which is now fixed by bumping this dep to newer version.
As for ❯ symbol - font fallback mechanism is now fixed and it should properly render it as long as one of the fonts in a default font-family list has this glyph, or you have DejaVu Sans font installed. This now works with default renderer (fontdue) as well.
