Here's how to use Homebrew and the Terminal command line to quickly install fonts.
Leo likes to use Fish, but you can use Bash as well.

If you haven't already, install and update Brew and its cask feature.
Then type the following into the Terminal command line:
brew update
brew tap homebrew/cask
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search font-
brew search font- | less
brew search nerd-font | less
brew cask install font-fira-code
brew cask install font-daddytimemono-nerd-font
for $font in (brew search nerd-font) ; brew cask install $font ; end
And then go get a cup of coffee!

Here's some more information on installing fonts from the command line: https://corgibytes.com/blog/2020/01/29/install-fonts-on-your-mac-from-the-command-line-with-homebrew/
