DejaVu does not appear to be one of the 14 base fonts. Be careful about making
this change before understanding how PDFs and these fonts relate. Here are a
couple of resources:

https://kbpdfstudio.qoppa.com/standard-14-pdf-fonts/

https://www.adobe.com/devnet/font.html

Switching to a non-base font could cause problems on some systems. The pdf code
in Koha is set to embed fonts which should avoid most potential issues. But we
should be aware that defaulting to a non-base font "might" introduce an issue
depending on the system used to open the resulting PDF.

FTR: This is not an objection to Fridolin's suggestion. I'm all for cutting MS
out of the picture altogether whenever possible.
