If you already have those ttf files available somewhere, just copy them to
someplace fontconfig knows about. Among such places is ~/.fonts. No need for
a script or rpm.

Even if you don't have the ttfs readily available, you can fetch the cabs
with wget, curl or a web browser, and cabextract them to ttf files that you
can copy anyplace you please. Again, no need for a script or rpm. Fontconfig
really doesn't care how you get your ttf files. :-)
