You seem to ignore my point about custom themes - splitting (or ignoring) elegant theme from dt doesn't solve the problem of how theming in dt can work. Simple example I can give is web design - web site can rely on some standard fonts every system has, or it can optionally supply its own font using @font-face in CSS. Given that dt themes are CSS files I think it's a good analogy. Elegant theme falls into second category. And yes, since we have elegant theme in dt repo, we should add Roboto font there also.
