In my opinion, the font module's current do-install is not very
useful. It doesn't account for two common cases: installing fewer than
all font files of a particular type, and installing fonts from multiple
directories in WRKDIST.

I've had the exact same idea. In fact, I would also like to introduce a
FONT_FILES variable that can be set to a list of font files to install
(including wildcards). The do-install would be closer to the typical
do-install targets in font ports, and would obviate FONTTYPES completely.
