Change 126834 had a related patch set uploaded by Brian Wolff:
Add ttf-dejavu to image scalars for "DejaVu (Sans|Serif) Condensed".

Change 126834 merged by Giuseppe Lavagetto:
Add ttf-dejavu-core,ttf-dejavu-extra to image scalers for "DejaVu (Sans|Serif) Condensed".

This is fixed now. If there are any files that were uploaded earlier and have the wrong font displayed, you can fix it by doing ?action=purge on the image description page (e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Meta_SVG_fonts.svg?action=purge )

For reference, in addition to the condensed variants, it also adds oblique and italic variants, as well as an Extra light version of DejaVu Sans.
