Dejavu was default font in Fedora for many many years, so many packages still rely/assume
it.
Likely more than necessary, eg in current Fedora Rawhide...
$ sudo dnf repoquery -q --whatrequires dejavu-sans-fonts | grep -v i686 | wc -l
43
After the new `default-fonts` Change for Fedora 39, one could hope some of these could be
changed to `default-fonts-core-sans` (similarly for serif and mono, but they are lesser in
number).
