Things are more complicated than that. When a specific symbol is not available in a font, fontconfig looks for it in another font of the same family. For example, a Japanese character will be displayed when selecting Bitstream Vera, but the actual font used will be Kochi Mincho/Gothic. What is happening here is that the document contains glyphs (U+2002 and U+2003) that are available in ttf-dejavu (which is installed by default on a desktop system) and not in ttf-bitstream-vera (just checked). The solution is probably to add a Recommends: ttf-bitstream-vera for yelp. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
