You can't copyright a typeface. You can copyright a font file (the actual file that sits on your hard drive).
So if a GPL font in a document would make the whole document GPL (which still isn't clear), it would only apply to the computer file representing the document. And this is the case only if the font is embedded in the document.
The copyright associated with the words, pictures and layout of a document is unaffected by any copyright on a font file.
