The trouble with this is that different people sharing the same node
want different fonts.

A possibility is to make /sys/dm/fonts/vt100s?* links to ~user_data/somewhere,
but then all those users who don't care would also have to make arrangements
to have ~user_data/somewhere reference an appropriate font set.
