+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...
