What is this?
Moji is a terminal tool that searches multiple font sources (GetFonts, DaFont, Fontshare, GitHub, and more), ranks the results, and downloads the font file that best matches your query.

After that, run 'moji' to open the TUI or 'moji ' to search directly.

GitHub search and the websearch provider (via kagi-cli or SearXNG) are optional extras that each need their own auth.
