3) Fix the issue. Fedora actually has DejaVu fonts as default with
higher priority and Liberation fonts with a lower priority.
Unfortunately, we only have the Liberation part of that from Fedora,
causing it to be set as default.

In fact, our fonts-ttf-dejavu was updated over a year ago to include the
config file setting DejaVu with higher priority, but it was never
submitted. I've just fixed a bug in the pkg and submitted it, so that
fonts get back to normal.

It'd be really nice if someone looked over our font packages and fonts
config stuff and compared them to Fedora stuff, we may have yet more
WTFs in there...
