The font manager, in the terminal

2026-09-04

Milestone M1 is on main: fontina now manages fonts, not just describes them. activate and install make a font visible to every application, per user, in place or by copying, on Linux, macOS and Windows, with conflict detection and restore for after a reboot. watch follows your source directories and keeps the index current. preview draws real, shaped glyphs in the terminal over kitty graphics, iTerm2 images, sixel or half-block text. fontina ui is a keyboard-first browser over all of it. Release archives will carry shell completions and man pages, and Linux gets .deb and .rpm packages.

The manual has two new chapters, Activation and installation and Watching, previews and the browser, and the command reference covers every new command.
