Research direction
Create a new page for the fc scan command following the tldr pages contribution guidelines. Use existing pages as templates (e.g., fc list or fc match). Include common usage examples such as scanning a font file and displaying the font pattern. The page should be added in the appropriate directory (likely pages/common/). Reference the man page for more details but keep it concise.
