GPL font with CC-BY-SA DATA

In MegaGlest we have a new font system now and we want to use this TrueTypeFont now: http://www.linuxlibertine.org/index.php?id=86
The Problem we have now is the fact that all our data is CC-BY-SA unported 3.0 but the font has following licenses:

GPLv3 with font exception
or OFL
http://www.linuxlibertine.org/index.php?id=91

If we want to create installers or packages, how will we have to do this?
Can we put it in our data and make a special section in the data license readme.txt? Or do we need to package it on his own?
I don't completly understand the font exception and what it means, so please help me to understand :?
What exactly have to be stated in which way and where do I place the font ?

Our sourcecode is GPLv3 so in worst case we place it there , but thats a bad option :/

Yes.
