Fontconfig is only responsible for locating font files; applications (and their rendering libaries) choose which font to use for each character on the screen.
I've uploaded ttf-bitstream-vera again, which would be a good way to ensure that the arabic glyphs from dejavu did not appear in place of the desired arabic-specific font. Simply install that instead of dejavu and you will get the Vera latin glyphs without the Dejavu Arabic glyphs. Given that the ttf-dejavu packaging team reassigned this to fontconfig, I'm not sure how to proceed; there's nothing in fontconfig to fix here. -- keith.pack...@intel.com
