Which fonts support

中文版本

Introduction

A small script to find which fonts support specified character.

Recently, I'm working on a LaTeX project, and need to deal with special characters(use another fallback font to show it) frequently.

So I write this to help me find available fallback font in my system.

(There should be no other people have this demand, I think...

Install

pip3 install which-fonts-support

Usage

which_fonts_support <the-char>

# Or

python3 -m which_fonts_support.cli <the-char>

Use U+XXXX or U+XXXXXX format for non BMP character.

Add -v to show all style of those fonts.

Add -p to show display preview of those font in browser.

Use -f <path> to use your fc-list installed in a custom path.

Environment requirements

• python >= 3.5
• fontconfig installed in your system
