    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.

How about making them links through $(VT100FONTS) or some such, and setting
VT100FONTS to /sys/dm/fonts by default in `node_data/startup.mumble, but changing it
to your personal font directory, which then contains links back to the guys you want
in /sys/dm/fonts, in one of your init files?
