Backticks are still part of the POSIX standard, so changing them for
$(...) would just be refactoring.  Directories created with mkdir
are tested for before they're created, so -p isn't really necessary,  
though if you want it, pass install-font.sh the '-p' flag.

To install fonts to /usr rather than /usr/local/, pass
install-font.sh the '-s' flag.

Of course, what's really needed is for install-font to be a Perl
script...

Cheers.
