Hans and Otared, thanks a lot for your attention.  I do appreciate your
time.

Otared:

The fallback was called "dejavudefault" on my machine when I was testing
it.  I changed the name in the email, to make the lines shorter, but
apparently I missed some instances—sorry—and that made it to the version I
uploaded also.

Hans:

I'm really sorry for wasting your time with these low-quality fonts... but
unfortunately these are among the few open-source Farsi fonts, and they are
simple enough to be extendible.  The font designer is not a professional,
but accepts bug reports, suggestions, etc.  So I spend some time finding
issues and fixing/reporting them.

Could you explain a bit about the "identifying as a math font" part?  What
is the sign of that?  To fix it, should I remove all the math-related
fields in the font?  Was the math thing only in the regular font or also in
bold?  Because I noticed the problem only in the regular shape.
