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.

TODO

• standalone Noto?, Roboto?, Droid?

• maybe change cp to install
