I'd rather wait till they get a farsi-friendly arabic variant now that
Behdad added locl support to Pango (unless the pango support is good
enough to ignore glyphs not specifically tagged for a locale)

It's not an overkill, the complete variant of dejavu includes many
unicode blocks we have no support for in other fonts, so it's referenced
in the associated language groups (it's *not* referenced in the language
groups dejavu-lgc already covers)

I'd like Fedora to do a periodic review (at Test1 or 2) of what fonts
are installed by default, so new fonts are added and fonts superseded by
others are dropped. Big font lists are very user-unfriendly, especially
when they stuffed with fonts only a few locales use (ie block-specific
fonts as opposed to pan-unicode ones)
