Hi, Almost two years have passed. Upstream has been publishing snapshots with fixes for a year now, but not Debian.
In fact the latest upload of 2.33-3 has overwritten my manual fixes and broke it again :-( There is something wrong with Debian's "upstream", maybe some scripts aren't fixed in the SVN repository. Here's an upstream bug report with discussion: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36135 My workaround: 1) visit http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ 2) download dejavu-fonts-2.33 package (current link: http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/dejavu-fonts-2.33-20130121-2512.tar.bz2) 3) extract and copy the ttf files from ttf directory to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/ -- Marius
