@keeferrourke, could I make a suggestion to change line 15 to git clone $giturl --depth 1
so that unnecessary git history is not cloned? Makes for a much faster install.
Still working like a charm!
i've create an installer for individual fonts, and for more systems, than just debian: https://github.com/alexmyczko/fnt
