Sounds cool! google.com/fonts has a mechanism for downloading a zip archive of a specified font collection, but I'm not sure it would be easy/desireable to hijiack it. Otherwise you can probably always host a cloned repo on your site and download from there. 

Saying that, I wonder if a simple general font installer would be a nice to have thingy on PyPI as a tool to install fonts from multiple sources into some configurable local place?
