Backticks are still part of the POSIX standard, so changing them for $(...) would just be refactoring. Directories created with mkdir are tested for before they're created, so -p isn't really necessary, though if you want it, pass install-font.sh the '-p' flag. To install fonts to /usr rather than /usr/local/, pass install-font.sh the '-s' flag. Of course, what's really needed is for install-font to be a Perl script...
