too bad this bug is still unsolved. the truth is, it's a generic problem with how XUL handles fonts. it strips off font style (and other parameters), and uses default .ttf file of the family (which is Book in case of DejaVu Sans). it is the same in case of Lucida Grande font, which consists of 2 .ttf files. firefox just changes weight of Regular font, instead of taking Bold font (on webpages). looking at fontconfig trace, firefox never queries Lucida Grande Bold font, but uses Lucida Grande instead.
