I think using system fonts is fine. Current update-grub has logic to detect
them, and enable them when present. It checks (via grub-probe) that GRUB will
be able to read them before doing so. Additionaly, the grub.cfg it generates
will instruct GRUB to fallback sanely to console when fonts aren't readable.
