fontesk

the fontesk provider is a little bit special due to the limitations of the api.

  • it is not possible to list on font on the site
  • always search for
install-fonts fontesk -list -query [match]
  • and/or refine with a filter
install-fonts fontesk -list -query [match] -filter [regex]
  • the known limitation is 20 entries max.
