--- Comment #24 from Nicolas Mailhot <[email protected]> ---
No, because bpg-dejavu-sans-fonts is not a complete fork of dejavu, it is
missing other parts.

Also, bpg-dejavu-sans-fonts is quite shaky legal-wise, the Georgian dev is
completely clueless about licensing, I’m not sure its GPL use is compatible
with the licensing in the other parts of dejavu, and even if it is, there are
good reason we are not using the GPL for font files (it would make documents,
that embed font parts, such as ODF or PDF, GPL, which is definitely not what
our users need).

We really need someone to revive the upstream dejavu project and restart
merging fixes and enhancements, since the original authors lost the drive.
(Can’t really blame them when downstreams like Fedora Workstation removed
DejaVu as default font just because it was steady and “boring”).
