The only thing I see is that the
installation payload increases - given the trade off with aesthetics
that might not be too bad. Any pointers as to the payload quantum
increase ?
Yep, that is the only downside really, but in terms of convenience to
most users it is worth it I think. The only really big fonts are the
CJK ones.
Here are some figures to give an idea:

Typically fonts don't get updated much between releases.
I don't know if we really need to have both 75dpi and 100dpi by default.
