If you're suggesting that you would like to install this font directory symlink in ${prefix}/bin, then I would ask you not to do that. ${prefix}/bin should only contain programs the user will run. Instead, put the binary in (or somewhere under) ${prefix}/libexec/${name}, put the font directory (or a symlink to it) in the same directory, and finally put a symlink (or wrapper script) in ${prefix}/bin which will run the binary in ${prefix}/libexec/${name}.
