FontFor

Find fonts which can show a specified character and preview them in browser.

This is port from my early python script called whichfontssupport, but with some improvements:

• Write in Rust, safe and faster
• Use fontconfig library instead of depends on fc-list command installed
• Support preview in shell, no GUI or browser needed (in plan)
