🪲[Bug]: -Force option not working

[alexdelprete]

Describe the bug

When installing fonts, with -Force option, I still see exceptions for already existing fonts. I use force to upgrade existing ones, but I can't do it.

Here's the command with the output:

PS C:\Users\alex> Install-NerdFont -All -Force -Scope AllUsers

Alessandro Del Prete (@alexdelprete) Hi Alex, thank you for posting this. Will have a fix for it shortly!

Thanks to you Marius for the work you put into this.

Would be awesome to have an -Upgrade switch that automagically upgrades only the installed fonts that are outdated. :)
