Drawing font vs. using bitmaps

Is this an okay idea or should I be having all of my fonts as bitmaps vs. drawing lines and arcs?

I ask because Steelfish Light, the font used on the default Fenix3 digital watch face, is about $300 to license for use in an application. And I really don't want to pay that just so my custom watch face has the right font.

So I was thinking about either creating Steelfish like bitmaps or just make a class that drew this font with a given rect and line width.
