Cause of this bug:

ttmkfdir puts wrong data in the fonts.scale file. It makes the DejaVu fonts
"character cell" fonts instead of normal "proportional" ones. This happens
because of a dumb test in ttmkfdir.



How to solve this:

You have to manually override this in your fonts.scale file. The lines

DejaVuSans.ttf -misc-DejaVu Sans-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1
                            c here means character cell: ^^^

should become

DejaVuSans.ttf -misc-DejaVu Sans-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1

with the p from proportional.

After this you have to run the
  mkfontdir
command.
