DejaVu Condensed fonts are shrunk 90% in width at the moment. We've only had some discussion about using 87.5% as defined in the OT specs. I don't think people would notice the difference anyway so we're probably going to keep it at 90%. Changing the name to follow the specs would make more sense if we ever plan to do more width variants.
