Only to provide info: the font, and any of the GWF fonts licensed under OFL can
be modified by anyone, under the terms of the SIL Open Font License. That
means:

1. The font licensed under SIL OFL can be freely redistributed.
2. We can change everything, but if we do changes, we must change the font
name, unless we get permission from the copyright holder.
3. The resulting modified font must be distributed under SIL OFL (a GPL-like
requirement)
4. The only limit: we cannot sell a font licensed under OFL by itself.

So, I selected the font not only because I like it, but also because its Free
license allows us to solve bugs, introduce more glyphs, and change the shape of
the font. We only need a new name to do that.

You, of course, are free to select another font, but, IMHO, the OFL is a hard
requirement, just like KDE licensing.
