I'd personally prefer to spend the money (or a bit more) on a
competition/bounty to develop a free version of the font with the
minimum characters needed; say the latin alphabet plus a a few bits of
punctuation. Places that could be used to host such a competition are:

Also, it seems we have a list -> blog converter :)
