Incorrect, that was a trap I set for you, actually they (the
sudo) are not needed at all. and you fell for it!
BTW I learned that method when I catched wild animals with my
bare hands - for survival.
I confirm here and now that
(shell-command "setfont Lat7-TerminusBold16")
(shell-command "setfont matrix.fnt")
works great.
$ ls -l /bin/setfont
