Do you know why only the Cyrillic glyphs have been merged with DejaVu? Since 
the DejaVu project aims to provide all glyphs, and its a popular font, a nice 
mid/long term solution will be depending on it when it contains all the 
glyphs, isn't it?

I did a quick search, and they say that DejaVu Sans covers 89% of the math 
page:
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/dejavu/trunk/dejavu-fonts/unicover.txt

So I did an informal test with kcharselect, and DejaVu Sans is second font in 
my system which most glyphs at this page contains; only Lucida contains more 
(and is non-free, from the Sun JVM). The only glyphs I would really miss in 
this font from the Unicode 2200-22FF range, are the contour/surface/volume 
integral. The other missing symbols, are not that common IMHO.

Greetings.
