Again I'm puzzled. How does one validate a font face? http://sourceforge.net/projects/dejavu/files/dejavu/2.33/dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33.zip has 21 separate files, four of each type, except for the odd ExtraLight with only one. Are you saying Linux is wrong to supply ExtraLight when 100 weight book is called?
No - I'm saying that the ExtraLight face has a problem. When validating it with FontBook, serious errors are reported, in this case with the kern tables. http://dev.l-c-n.com/_b/dejavu-s-light.png (this has been the case since v15, and has been reported to the Dejavu people)
Having that ExtraLight face installed on the system caused Gecko 1.9.0+ on OS X to crash repeatedly at one time. I think that has been somehow worked around. I know Photoshop is also very sensitive to invalid fonts. I don't recommend having DejaVu ExtraLight installed on any version of OS X.
Maybe 2.33 is worth a try there if you haven't already. Here on Tiger, FF 3.6.15 http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/fonts-weightier.html does not crash (or use a lighter weight for 100 than for 500), while FontBook validation reports all (12 only) characteristics OK.
