Hi! I'm not looking forward for another heated discussion with Aurelien about fonts ))) I'm just telling that all three packages provide same font just in different versions and I don't see why darktable should prefer hinted over unhinted or vice versa.
Packaging fonts in dt bundle... well I don't think it is a good idea at least for Linux. Windows and mac — last time I checked default theme relied on fonts available in default OS installation.
