This makes it easier to use the mk fragment with fonts that need a build
step, like new liberation-ttf.
While here switch some fonts using post-install unnecessarily to do-install
(Committed at the same time as it wasn't tested separately)
No PLIST changes to the packages/build breakage, so no changes expected
to the packages.
