So, should I rename it to i.e. 10-Ticker.fnt? As I understand your reasoning, leaving it out would be a bad choice IMHO. If the user doesn't have the font and tries to load the theme he gets the default theme without any indication what went wrong. I would have to explain in the description on the theme site which font he has to install to make the theme load, where to get it, etc.No, generally we don't want that - that is why the theme site checks. Just put a note on saying it requires the font pack (as do the vast majority of themes).
Just to clarify - if someone performs a complete install using RBUtil (the official installation method) they should have the font pack. So this shouldn't be a problem unless someone's explicitly chosen to install via a method that doesn't include the font pack, and hasn't added it in later.
