Currently addons are totally dependant of the current used skin for the used fonts.
So this means even though they can create their own custom skin for this specific addon there is no way for them to specify custom fonts.
Example of one is this:
Spotimc
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=125147
now it needs to hack the skin code to add the custom fonts which is one of the rules why we can't allow it to be in repo.
Somewhere in the Spotify API rules it mentioned that it needed to use a specific font (although this might have changed already).
It would be great if this would be possible by the time of Helix release so we can get these legal services into our repo. I'm sure a lot of people would love to have this.
Of course this will also benefit other addons
