Addons often use their own dialogs/windows via xbmcgui WindowXML. There is a mechanism in Kodi where addons can create default "resources" that are local in scope to the addon, making the addon skin-independent (obviously the look-and-feel may not be the same). Unfortunately, there is no way for an addon to include any font resource. It seems like most addons rely on Confluence which of course doesn't work if user runs any other skin. It has been suggested that skinners include every Confluence font spec in their own font.xml to ensure availability. This thread on the read-only board http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=195104 raises the possibility for addons to have fonts within their own resources. This would be a big help. Alternatively, it might be possible to have Kodi create a global font resource which could be used as a fallback.

We are waiting for a dev to pick this up. It would be a great addition.
