So, you want to have something like this:

hosts - dir with various hosts.xml files (i.e., hosts_a.xml, hosts_b.xml)
packages - dir with various packages.xml files (i.e. firefox.xml, 
thunderbird.xml)
profiles - dir with various profiles.xml (i.e. profile_a.xml, profile_b.xml)

You need to also have profiles.xml, packages.xml and hosts.xml files, in 
the same directory in which you have wpkg.js.
They can't be totally empty, they must have at least:
* <profiles></profiles> for profiles.xml
* <packages></packages> for packages.xml
* <wpkg></wpkg> for hosts.xml

If the fonts can be installed from command line somehow (silently), wpkg 
should do it's job.
