That is true, but as you say carries a risk of loss of portability. As far
as I believe that changes must be made in the deb package.
I do not think that the program authors applied the patch to upstream
because a single operating system that font does not exist.

Frankly, I chose this font because it was the first I saw. I do not know
much about font/O.S. If you know a better font you are free to modify the
patch.
