This is surprising. Maybe you have a indeed buggy version of the
DejaVu fonts installed?
What does the following command list on your system:
fc-list : | grep DejaVu
Felix Miata> Maybe locale has something to do with this. I'm en_US
Felix Miata> here, and both FF & KDE work almost as expected.
I don’t think this is locale related.
Felix Miata> What I don't expect is to see KDE list DejaVu Sans
Felix Miata> Condensed, and in addition, 3 times DejaVu Sans (and same
Felix Miata> for Serif).
I see “DejaVu Sans” only once in your screenshot in the KDE font
selector.
Felix Miata> I believe the DejaVu project has created the DejaVu Sans

Felix Miata> Sans Condensed exists in that suite of fonts, the file
Felix Miata> and family name DejaVu Sans should not include a
Felix Miata> condensed style.
No, I think it is fine the way it is done in the DejaVu project (At
least I think the latest versions of the dejavu fonts I have, 2.23 or
2.24 are OK).
The problem is that most applications (Qt3, Qt4, KDE3, KDE4,
OpenOffice, Firefox, ...) still cannot deal with fonts with many style
names, most applications still cannot handle more than the four
“traditional” style names “Regular”, “Bold”, “Italic”, and
“Bold
Italic”.
Currently, only GTK2 seems to be able to handle fonts with many
styles.
This needs to be fixed in the applications eventually.
