I chose a funny font among those that are installed on my computer. We need graphic designers to search for a free, readable but funny font that would additionally support most of the Unicode charset…

There are few possible :
Deja vu : http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page
Liberation : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts
Linux Libertine : http://www.linuxlibertine.org/
and Ubuntu font (i think Jean-Michel will not like them) : http://font.ubuntu.com/
More info here : http://www.openfontlibrary.org/

My tips : Deja vu font.

I find these fonts too serious for our children, don't you? This is why I chose the font “ghost meat” in the Debian package ttf-larabie-deco. We may fall back to a more classical font for alphabets like Chinese or Arabic, one of Elisa's list for example. Personally I find the Ubuntu font more funny than the other ones ;).

Ubuntu have two fonts. I prefer Ubuntu-titling wich allows UPPER CASE (i'm not sure about this word).
See image below to see the result.

In case you have not seen the boot text yet, Elisa, I attach the splash screen with text inserted and the font ghost meat.

I find both first ones to be easier to read. Kleptocracy is more like handwritten characters so I would prefer it too for children. Moreover it's shipping in an official Debian package :).
