Homebrew/homebrew-linux-fonts#42 is now closed after the migration (thanks). However I think the migration code for macOS is now stopping linux installing fonts from that repo, when you try it recommends to use the cask but casks are not supported on linux. Warning: Formula homebrew/linux-fonts/font-inconsolata was renamed to homebrew/cask/font-inconsolata.
Warning: No available formula with the name "font-inconsolata". Did you mean font-inconsolata-g or font-inconsolata-lgc?
It was migrated from homebrew/linux-fonts to homebrew/cask.
You can access it again by running:
brew tap homebrew/cask
And then you can install it by running:
brew install --cask font-inconsolata ▶︎ brew tap
homebrew/core
homebrew/linux-fonts
rsteube/tap |

Description of issue
We used to be able to use linuxbrew/fonts to install fonts with homebrew on Linux (which mirrored the macOS font tap; because fonts are installed as casks on macOS and casks are not supported on Linux, thus this difference in taps). linuxbrew/fonts was deprecated and the tap moved to homebrew/linux-fonts AFAICT.
Recently it seems homebrew have moved the macOS fonts into the main cask tap. The side effect of this is that that is now empty and the linux fonts have all disappeared:
https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts/tree/0ed20f35d21ebc3f4f829689b101078718ad5ce1
returns nothing on Ubuntu but does on my macbook: https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/font-alegreya#default
You cann see this in
brew doctor
:What is the expected migration path for the use of brew for installing fonts on Linux? Thank you for all your hard work!
