These are ripped from pc hardware surely? I don't see how it's legal to
slap a CC BY-SA 4.0 on it...(doesn't entirely rule out adding to ports,
but I don't think it can have PERMIT_DISTFILES/PERMIT_PACKAGE=Yes).

Set MODFONT_FAMILY to oldschool-pc, then MODFONT_FONTDIR / MODFONT_DOCDIR
are set correctly. Don't use FONTDIR/DOCDIR. Set MODFONT_FONTFILES and
MODFONT_DOCFILES to the files you want copying rather than doing them
by hand in do-install (see other fonts with MODFONT_DOCFILES etc set
to see how it should look).

Don't set BUILD_DEPENDS to archivers/unzip, that is done automatically.

Don't set USE_X11=Yes, that's only for a few fonts which actually need
tools from X sets in order to build the ports.
