Alternatively, run the standard installer, but under "Customize" uncheck everything except Additional Fonts. (Couldn't test this, because the optical drive on my Snow Leopard machine no longer works, and I can't get CD/DVD sharing from my Yosemite machine to work.)

Someday, I'll learn. crazy

I'm pretty sure that I must have looked in that folder (or...maybe only its previous incarnation in a pre-Snowy installer) at least once, and I had long since forgotten that it exists; it's one of those things that I don't even se when it's on the screen in front of me.

You can't turn the trick with the standard installer, because "Essential System Software" can't be unchecked.

Edit: Pacifist is beneficial to those who closely manage their fonts, because it's the only way to specify which of the additional fonts you want installed.
