Does that work in a chroot? I think I agree with Stuart: serving web fonts directly from OpenBSD packages feels like a fringe use case. There's no user benefit to installing the fonts that way versus some other way: if you copy them from /usr/local to /var/www then pkg_add won't keep them up to date, and there's no fontdir/fontscale that needs to be done for webfonts.
