Reported by John Boncek:

I installed DejaVu Sans under MontaVista Linux / X Windows and got display
with way too much space between characters, like this, 

        c  h  a  r  a  c  t  e  r  s    s  p  a  c  e
 d    o  u  t

in all text strings using both English (Latin) and Arabic characters.
Other fonts already on the system still look OK.  This font looks this way
in the xfontsel utility as well as in application programs.  I am new to
font installation so I suspect I neglected to run some configuration
utility or modify some configuration file that's needed.  I used 

        ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
        mkfontdir

as instructed in this system.  Does the above appearance suggest what I am
missing?  Thanks for your attention.
