Except that won't remove any subdirectories. Removing the "-type f" and specifying "rm -r" fixes this issue... but you'll still hit an error when find attempts to remove the "." directory. Incidentally, "find . -delete" is probably a nicer way of coding this.
Anyone else got suggestions? It seems like the kind of thing their should be a command, or flag to rm, for: a simple way to empty a directory.

fontimport
fontimport(1) teTeX fontimport(1)
NAME
fontimport - import fonts into the teTeX directory structure
SYNOPSIS
fontimport [-d] [-f] [-t] [-m MF-mode] path ...
DESCRIPTION
fontimport imports TFM and PK font files into appropriate places in the teTeX directory tree and revises teTeX's filename database accord-
ingly.
Each path may be a font file or a directory, either absolute or relative to the current directory. All subdirectories of a given directory
are searched for font files. Don't specify directory names that are symbolic links, however, since (at least some versions of) find(1)
won't dereference them.
A font's destination is determined by variables in the file texmf.cnf. By default, fontimport will issue a warning to stderr instead of
overwriting an existing font file. The -f flag forces overwriting.
fontimport can cope with font names conforming the 8.3-namescheme, too, so you can import fonts from either a TDS-compliant or MSDOS
installation. emTeX's font libraries are not supported. If you want to import fonts from a font library, you need to unpack it with emTeX's
fontlib utility first.
The full pathname of each font successfully imported is echoed to stdout. When fontimport can not parse a font's name, it will import the
font using a path element of "/unknown/" and issue a warning on stderr.
fontimport tries to guess the mode of PK files. With the -m flag you may specify a fallback mode to be used if the mode can't be guessed.
Options:
-m MF-MODE
default Metafont mode for PK files if autodetection fails
-d delete
delete font files after copying (i.e., move them)
-f force
overwrite existing fonts
-t test
just echo each font's destination (if any); don't move or copy
