Dejavu was IMHO chosen as it contains a reasonable wide set of

c) allow the clients to use different fonts, although I am very unsure
of how that could/would technically work.

I don't think it would be a great idea to have different client use
different fonts. Names often overlap tiles and if they are in different
fonts, that's bad too.
