P.S. The reason that we currently don't like Dejavu very much for a default font is that it has extremely bad kerning in some places.Examples are "Tr" in Traditional Chinese and "Fr" in French.
AFAIK this will be fixed in next DejaVu release, scheduled for 16 April, and it's already fixed in SVN. The cause of the bad kerning is the addition of Arabic which led to problems with Pango: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334758
