Yes, but (for the test suite) if this happens you are likely already
getting failures when you test cairo, because unless the user-chosen font
glyphs have the same shape as the DejaVu Sans ones, the output of the test
cases will not match the reference.
Please notice that most tests already set the font to
CAIRO_TEST_FONT_FAMILY " ...".
