Summary: Fallback font in fontconfig 2.13.93 is Montserrat,
previously was DejaVu

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what's going on here, but with
fontconfig-2.13.92-12.fc33 , if you do "fc-match ashjopasdjhao" - just any
random non-existent string - you get "DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans"
"Regular"".
If you do the same on fontconfig-2.13.93-1.fc34, you get
"Montserrat-Regular.otf: "Montserrat" "Regular"".
I *think* this is why KDE window titles look different with 2.13.93 vs. 2.13.92
- this is breaking some KDE tests in openQA. KDE window titles are set to use
"Noto Sans", but that font is not actually installed by default. So I think
they wind up just falling back.
There's another odd discrepancy I noted: on 2.13.92, "fc-match sans-serif"
gives DejaVu Sans Regular, while on 2.13.93 it gives DejaVu Sans Book. I'm not
sure whether that's related or what's causing it.
