I noticed that the font file isn't found on Fedora 32 anymore either.
This path needs to be added for that to work:
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu-sans-fonts

Maybe it could take a configure argument or environment variable to
handle all the different installation locations so the list doesn't
need to keep growing?

Thanks.
