I see the following:

My own personal opinion about Creative Commons licenses is that they
are all non-free (with the only exception of CC0 and, possibly, of
CC-by-sa-v4.0, due to its one-way compatibility with GPLv3).
Unfortunately, Debian ftp masters disagree with me and accept
CC-by-sa-v3.0, CC-by-sa-v4.0, CC-by-v3.0, and CC-by-v4.0 into Debian
main.
Anyway, CC-by-nd-v4.0 is definitely unable to meet the DFSG.
Hence, if your package is intended for Debian main, I think you should
try one of the following strategies:
a) try to get in touch with the copyright holder of the
CC-by-nd-v4.0-licensed font and persuade him to re-license the font
under DFSG-free terms (for instance under the Expat/MIT license, or
under the GPLv3 license with font exception)
b) drop the CC-by-nd-v4.0-licensed font from the Debian package
I hope this helps.
