Does google play punish for using fonts?

Can they block an application on google play if it has a font that can be copyrighted (do these even exist?). In my case, I'm using Comic Sans, is there any chance of blocking?

The image rotator that this theme uses is called imageFlow
its free WordPress version designed by the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-imageflow2/

What does "there is a font" mean? You, as I understand it, mean the font as a program? Then everything is clear enough - you are bound by copyright restrictions. And if you mean the font in its original sense - like the outline of letters, then everything is complicated here: in the States they do not fall under copyright restrictions, but in Russia - the dog knows it, Lebedev's studio, for example, stubbornly believes that they do, and actively copying .

What do you mean? The vast majority of fonts (and software in general) are subject to copyright restrictions in one way or another.

. It doesn't matter what you use. What matters is the conditions under which you received it. If under the terms of this proprietary license, then there, in my opinion, there are two extremely clear provisions: “You may reproduce and distribute an unlimited number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT; provided that each copy shall be a true and complete copy, including all copyright and trademark notices, and shall be accompanied by a copy of this EULA. Copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be distributed for profit either on a standalone basis or included as part of your own product" and "You may not rename, edit or create any derivative works from the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, other than subsetting when embedding them in documents".
After all, what are you up to? Not enough free fonts for you?

For about a year, our app's start screen had the app's name written in a paid font (which we didn't pay for). Not once during this time did they write to us with the question: did you license the fonts used? Most likely, because we flew below the radar, read - we did not gain such a user base and profit, after which it makes sense to look more closely at the fruits of our labor.
PS Now, however, we have already removed this font and replaced it with one of the Roboto family.
