I'm seeing more use of DejaVu Sans in firefox 44 with the default configuration too. It seems to be caused by the combinaison of a change in firefox and OpenBSD's '/etc/fonts/conf.d/31-nonmst.conf'. I'm generally just removing that link and install better fonts from ports (liberation, droid, libertine) that will be used instead of the old ghostscript fonts. But I'm not advocating we make this can be change globally as fonts are a matter of personal preferences. -- Matthieu Herrb
