Do we want to consider switching to a different font that does?
There
are more openly-licensed fonts than ever, far more than when we
initially decided to go with MgOpen Modata. I found this font that has a
similar rounded look (it's a wider and more widely-spaced font, but I
think that's okay) and it seems to cover all the basic accents including
acute, grave, umlat, circumflex, etc.:

replacing MgOpen Modata.
Hopefully the author will get time to resolve missing letters Nicu
mentioned.
It's called Quicksand. The author has said he has released it
'license-free' and commercial use is permitted. We would need to get in
touch with him and see if he would be amenable to releasing it under a
recognized open font license before we could include it in Fedora, but
he does seem responsive in the typophile forums [2].
It will be nice to refer to
list of suitable license [1].
