- DejaVu is an "odd" font (comparing the metrics with other fonts),
  which is optimized for the screen, not for printing. Documents printed
  using DejaVu don't look very well.

- DejaVu is not available on other platforms by default, while Times /
  Helvetica / Courier are (-> Nimbus). Viewing / Printing documents
  without having this font looks very bad.
