If there are 16 directories each containing ten to 20 files though, one command that does it all seems to me preferable to ten minutes of laborious right-click-and-save on each individual file. And one could of course just link to the font in-place without downloading it first; especially if one has a short memory of "free for anyone to use" fonts being pulled some years later. First thing I did when I heard of the initiative was to read the license, then download my own copy.
