individual package. 

While it is true that any user could manually install the fonts, having
packages available makes the fonts accessible to those that don't have
the time to hunt down and manually install a given font.

In general, I think that any particular font that is packaged
individually is simply going to be used by more people than it would if
it were part of another package.
