what are the alternatives? (something that comes to my mind immediately, is using the installer to install the font system-wide and have Pd rely on that).
Nutshell: Create a (tiny) custom TCL extension which makes the system calls to load a font into the PrivateFont collection http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/8159/ when the GUI is loaded.
I've had this approach listed in the original DejaVuSans mono PR for Windows since the beginning of the year: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/42 https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/42
