Hmm, taking a look at Help:Customization_policy, these are the two bits which catch my eye the most:


 * Removal, changed placement or changed functionality of ads, spotlights, Wikia bar, Wikia features: "These are the basic framework of the site, and must remain in place..."
 * Added decoration to buttons, boxes, backgrounds,  fonts : "Formatting and decoration for your wikia is a great way to personalize and customize it..."

The way I'm reading it, the second point is much more applicable to the question at hand than the first point. While you could argue that the font is a "Wikia feature", it's debatable whether changing the font constitutes "changed functionality" (i.e. have we changed its purpose for reading/writing into something else?). Maybe we're increasing its functionality by allowing people to distinguish between capital i's and lower case L's, but that seems like arguing for the sake of arguing...

On the other hand, the second point clearly encourages aesthetic personalisations -- and more importantly, has listed "fonts" as one such example. Personally, I'd say that's more than enough justification to change the font given how the above paragraph requires some interpretation and reading, while the second point seems to have spelled it out quite clearly for fonts.
