Only when it is sold as an individual typeface.  It does not restrict
our software in any way.

It isn't more restrictive when it is included.

No.  You can take anything licensed by the ASF in that way.  These
fonts are not licensed by the ASF.

It is not our software.  Compatible means that we can safely and
legally distribute our software in combination with theirs, which
we can under that license, and that the resulting package as a
whole can be redistributed under terms no more restrictive than
the Apache License terms.  That clause does not restrict our
packages.
