To download the needed files using wget, use the following commands:
mkdir font &&
cd font &&
grep -v '^#' ../font-7.7.md5 | awk '{print $2}' | wget -i- -c \
-B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/font/ &&
md5sum -c ../font-7.7.md5

When installing multiple packages in a script, the installation needs to be done as the root user. There are three general options that can be used to do this:
Run the entire script as the root user (not recommended).
Use the sudo command from the Sudo-1.8.12 package.
Use su -c "command arguments" (quotes required) which will ask for the root password for every iteration of the loop.
One way to handle this situation is to create a short bash function that automatically selects the appropriate method. Once the command is set in the environment, it does not need to be set again.
as_root()
{
if [ $EUID = 0 ]; then $*
elif [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then sudo $*
else su -c \\"$*\\"
fi
}
export -f as_root
First, start a subshell that will exit on error:
bash -e
Install all of the packages by running the following commands:
for package in $(grep -v '^#' ../font-7.7.md5 | awk '{print $2}')
do
packagedir=${package%.tar.bz2}
tar -xf $package
pushd $packagedir
./configure $XORG_CONFIG
make
as_root make install
popd
as_root rm -rf $packagedir
done
Finally, exit the shell that was started earlier:
exit
When all of the fonts have been installed, the system must be
configured so that Fontconfig can
find the TrueType fonts since they are outside of the default
search path of /usr/share/fonts. Make
symlinks to the Xorg TrueType font
directories by running the following commands as the root user:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/fonts && ln -svfn $XORG_PREFIX/share/fonts/X11/OTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-OTF && ln -svfn $XORG_PREFIX/share/fonts/X11/TTF /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF
$XORG_PREFIX/share/fonts
