I realize that this is an issue with casks as a whole, although Mac apps typically auto-update and fonts do not. For fonts like Hack that are actively developed and released, what is the recommended strategy for upgrading? I tried brew cask install font-hack --force but I got the following, which required me to manually delete the font from my library to get the new version to link:

==> It seems there is already a Font at '/Users/swrobel/Library/Fonts/Hack-Regular.otf'; not linking.
==> It seems there is already a Font at '/Users/swrobel/Library/Fonts/Hack-Italic.otf'; not linking.
==> It seems there is already a Font at '/Users/swrobel/Library/Fonts/Hack-Bold.otf'; not linking.
==> It seems there is already a Font at '/Users/swrobel/Library/Fonts/Hack-BoldItalic.otf'; not linking.

Seems like a bug, especially since installed fonts should be moved, not linked, per Homebrew/homebrew-cask#13201. We must have missed that in the re-implementation of install. Will escalate to an issue on the core repo.
