Thanks for spelling that out.  I wonder if it will get overwritten when 
you move on to the next mythtv build.  I was reluctant to have them in a 
system font folder when I thought they were in some way unacceptable, 
but that's where I have them now.  In practice the DejaVu 
auto-replacement had been working fine for me but I didn't understand 
why it was being done, and it cluttered up the log.
