Regarding comment #4:

The example you show displays a good design. Both the æ and the œ in the Times
New Roman font looks fine next to the a and the o and they are clearly
distinguishable. Making a similar thing for DejaVu would make the DejaVu font
usable.

Regarding comment #5:

The sample glyph you show in the centre of this attachment would be a much
better design. This æ does not look out of place when placed next to the a, and
the distinction between this æ and the œ is even greater than the corresponding
difference in the Times New Roman font shown in comment #4 (which is already clear).

Whether or not you find the current æ to be annoying or not could be a matter of
how frequently you use this letter. If you only write English or some other
language where this letter is rare, you might not be annoyed by the bad design,
but if you frequently read Scandinavian languages where this letter is common
and is used to well designed fonts, the current glyph is really annoying.
