The good news is that the GPL doesn't extend to fonts used by programs, because the fonts are separate works, and thus the fonts are aggregate distribution (like a livecd) rather than combined (derivative) work with the program.
The bad news is that these fonts are not licensed for redistribution, and I recommend deleting them ASAP :)
davelab6 can you suggest appropriate substitute fonts to this GSOC contributor? Do we have fonts already available in Sugar images that might make it un-necessary to package them with the activity?
@leonardcj Could you please suggest me appropriate subtitute fonts?

@davelab6 Thank you :)
fixed.
Some of the fonts have names that suggest they are copyright by someone else, and it isn't clear that I have a license to use them after I install your bundle.
Instead, use fonts that have a license that allows their use with GPL you have used in source code.
