I have read Islamic scholars argue that things which use the name of alcohol despite not containing alcohol are still haram . This is because these can cause believers to think about haram activities. For example non-alcoholic beer can encourage people to move on to alcoholic beer. This is not limited to Islam - children were banned in the UK from candy cigarettes because they could be seen as promoting smoking. Therefore a font name which promotes alcohol is clearly inappropriate.
