Good initiative, this is one of the first steps in designing our
communication supports. What is the SIL?

Yes, but the urgency is marketing, DDL as a computer system is already
on rails :).

I agree, quite unreadable, although the appearance is really looking
like human writing.

I also wonder about non [a-z][A-Z] alphabets :). Anyway I think it
should be used with parsimony because it is very childish and not so
easy to read in my opinion. Perfect to add some fun text frames though.

I agree, it is nice and modern. My quick tests showed it works with
Cyrillic and Greek alphabets. For installation, Debian/Ubuntu packages
are available as well:

http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-all/fonts/

It can be installed on any Debian/Ubuntu since the dependencies are very
low.
