Somebody who has replaced (and lived with) the standard fonts entirely
with them would be a better judge.  But if the glyphs are in the right
places then the change should be completely transparent as far as the
image and VMs are concerned.

The VM changes are minimal.  They'd take 15 minutes, tops.

The only thing we (I) missed was that most of the _fixed_-width X fonts
(e.g, xc/fonts/bdf/misc/6x13-ISO8859-1.bdf) come with this copyright:

  Public domain font.  Share and enjoy.

whereas the proportional fonts (times, helvetica) and courrier are not
copyright-free, and come with this one (again snipped directly from a bdf
file; e.g., xc/fonts/bdf/75dpi/helvR10-ISO8859-1.bdf):

But that's just standard X boilerplate, entirely Squeak-friendly, and
as someone pointed out the other day requires only being tacked on the
end of the license file.
