Then they can sue. EULAs often state things that don't matter in the jurisdiction of the end user, yes. But copyright is not related to that. If they hold the copyright to the font, then they can set the rules in the license, and if those don't clash with the local laws of your place, then you're liable legally.
And yes, they probably won't do that. But that's, again, a different matter, other copyrighted works are also always stolen.

Even if the downloader was in the US, the results of a lawsuit are at best a toss-up considering case law. Internationally, I'm not even sure such a suit has ever been filed. Has it? A link would be interesting...
