apt source font-recommended local non-root install

Hi - Is it possible to somehow download the `fonts-recommended` package and subsequently install them in the directory of my choosing?

## requirements
1. Install the TTFs locally without installing them system wide (per the [Debian wiki][/https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts#Manually])
2. accomplish this as a non-sudo-er.

## so far
As indicated in the subject line, I tried a couple of seemingly reasonable `apt` options:
My assumption - since proved wrong - was that I would be downloading an archive of TTF files. I imagined I could then move them into a directory of my choice. I now realize neither of these commands actually download anything resembling an archive of font files.

## goals
1. as stated above, install the fonts in the `fonts-recommended` package locally
2. as a non-sudoer
3. Furthermore I wish to have this as a reproducable install script

Thanks!
