I don't like mixing with my home dir either, but this way works :/
I created a script that needs to be run every time you get into the
environment to update the fonts in ~/.fonts. I didn't have .fonts
before in my home dir, and after creating it inside the environment I
can't see it either being outside. Don't know about you. But, in case
people have it, when we finish creating the videos we could remove the
fonts that we had to install, WDYT? Sorry,  I am new to this fonts
stuff, I am reading and trying different things.
