There is a small problem with the DejaVu font for African languages. The
uppercase ".eng" is usually written in Africa with a character that looks
like the lowercase character (."n-.form"). However this font uses the
."N-.form" that is more common in Europe.

Yes, this is being fixed for the July release.
The n-form has been available through the locale feature for some
languages, but it makes more sense to have it by default since more
population uses this form.

Cheers,
