doc: Add hint for Homebrew on Linux

[why] If people want to use Homebrew on Linux to install the fonts they fail following the documentation. The reason is that Casks are not normally considered on Linux, because they contain binary blobs for MacOS by definition. Well, the fonts are indeed binaries, but could still be installed on any platform. I can not find any expressive statement in the Homebrew or Homebrew-Cask documentation, but trying on MacOS 15.3 and Ubuntu 24.04 showed this different behavior. [how] Add back the `--cask` but only as addition for Linux, because - Main users of Homebrew are MacOS, and there it is deprecated - It might change on the Linux platform as well (for fonts?)
