I think dt should just include needed custom fonts and not depend on system ones if theme requires specific font. So for example default theme uses system font, that's fine, elegant theme uses specifically Roboto font - it should be bundled together with the theme then.
The reasoning for it is the following: Since dt now supports different themes, I assume there should be a way for users to install additional themes, not included in DT repository. Such additional themes too may depend on custom fonts, and requiring user to somehow install these fonts by themselves is not a workable approach. So there should be a way for dt to use fonts not installed in the system (which also will help packagers with existing Roboto font problem). The main problem of course is how to do it, especially since dt supports 3 OSes with different font systems. But IMHO this must be solved before doing next major release.
