Our projects are based on web sites, so we do not offer any fonts, probably. But when people print out articles, or a wikibook for distribution, do they have to use GFDL-compatible fonts?
IANAL, but I would say, since the declaration of GFDL applies only to the content, it's just like printing anything else out for distribution. I'm inclined to say that users have the right to use fonts on their computers for free. That's probably covered under a license though. I'm fairly sure that Mac OS X users are granted an explicit license to royalty-free use of the included fonts. I don't know any details, though.
