As I said, this *could* be resolved as a packager fix rather than an upstream
one: you could remove the questionable fonts from the tarball before uploading
it and then patch the source code to use some existing fonts that are packaged
(They won't look the same as the upstream release, but I suspect that people
are more concerned with the gameplay).

RPM Fusion doesn't protect you from either of these legal issues. If there's a
trademark or likeness issue, then RPM Fusion cannot carry it either. As for the
fonts, I'm not sure how they would handle that, but you'd likely need to get a
legal opinion either way, so scrubbing the fonts from the tarball is likely to
be needed regardless.

So for the moment, I'd wait to hear a real legal opinion.
