Hello, 

I'm going to use a GNU FreeFont for my android application (APK) through this way : https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/font-resource#bundled-font

Font resources

A font resource defines a custom font that you can use in your app. Fonts can be individual font files or a collection of font files, known as a font family and defined in XML.

Also see how to define fonts in XML or instead use downloadable fonts.

Bundled font

You can bundle fonts as resources in an app. Fonts are compiled in R file and are automatically available in the system as a resource. 

...

Do you think that using of GNU FreeFont in this way can be considered "bundle" of FAQs?: https://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/FAQ.html
Can I bundle GNU FreeFont with my (closed-source/non-GPL) software?

Yes, so long as you follow the rules. ...

Or should I consider that using GNU FreeFont in this way is to "incorporate into the software"?
Can I incorporate GNU FreeFont into my (proprietary/non-GPL) software?

Only for your own personal use, or use within your organization only.

If you distribute software that incorporates elements of GNU FreeFont, the distribution as a whole must be released under the GPL.


Thank you in advance. 

Best regards,
Haksung
