From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It just installs kcharselect … and figuratively half of KDE :)
There seems to be a Flatpak available I’ll check out later when I have time to install hundreds of megabyte of depending other KDE-specific Flatpaks …
The TDE version of kcharselect should do much the same stuff with fewer deps, if a suitable package exists for your distro.
Mmmh, nope, only the normal version available.
The Flatpak version (or KCharSelect in general) unfortunately ignores the font file given on command line.
Sounds like you already know the real solution: use KDE
