I suggest to switch to a font with free license, as our current default font seems to have a quite uncommon license which is not seen as Open Source / Free Software license.

Some possible alternatives could be:

Thanks a lot for your suggestions! I'll change that soon as proposed fonts seems to fit to my requirements :

Easily readable
Pixel Font
Variable width
Accentuated letters, cyrillic, greek and other alphabets.

At last, a new font, under CC-BY-SA is used as default.

Thanks for including this new font.

I found another font, which looks promising: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/145723/simple_rounded_pixel

I don't ask for this font to be included immediately, I only wanted to share the link with you.

Yes it looks very good but it has too few glyphs. Metro Sans font includes many accentuated letters, greek and cyrillic. A general purpose font should be able to display many languages (or your players may complain about it :) )
