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 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
