Why would you need fonts in a terminal?
If you're starting to use big GPL libs then there will be Freetype, then Cairo, then OpenSSL, and so on (for example, ofcourse) - where there is one, there will likely be many.
Do you plan to include it all into your project?
From my point of view keeping only the changed files/diffs in the VCS/releases is the best option - if someone can download yours, they can also download the other libs by provided links.
Then, copy over/patch, and build, or copy into, make image, run.
