Hey! Wooow! I started this thread in order to know what's the best so please 
don't speak of madness or such.
There is NOTHING in KDE-Edu about fonts at the moment. The only trial we did 
is in the playground-edu module.

So at the moment I don't see any solution proposed other than the Konsole one 
which seems to be exactly what Albert said: this copies (I don't call that an 
install in that case) the fonts (ttf files and license) in 
$KDEDIR/app/data/fonts folder.
This seems to be OK for packagers provided we add something in the kdeedu 
README.

Am I right so far?

Then the problem for us KDE-Edu devels is how do we get the fonts installed 
i.e. found and used by our apps.
