I'm thinking that this can be generalised into one script by detecting the font path or even checking /etc/debian_release

Yet another script that asks you to pipe curl to sh. At least they used https.

Therefor you should always check out the script before running.

So? Nothing different that downloading an opaque binary and executing them -- which we do all the time.

It's all about trust.

When you run:

apt-get install foo

is it any different? You download a file that essentially runs anything pre- and post- install of the rpm.

Now you can block Google Fonts (yet another way Google can track you).
