[Bug 1650243] [NEW] fonts missing in Ubuntu 16.10

[Uwe Kretschmer]

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu 16.10 there is something wrong with dejavu fonts, showing up
by trying to use them with scribus or scribus-ng. On Ubuntu 16.04 all
worked fine.

The fonts aren't loaded into scribus, just one: DejaVu Math TeX Gyre
Regular

Font packages fonts-dejavu are all installed.

I issued this as scribus bug
(https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=14475), but the maintainers said
it's not a scribus thing. I tried the suggested solution to upgrade
libfreetype6, but neither 2.6.5 nor 2.7 worked for me.

I also tryed to downgrade libfreetype6 and fonts-dejavu to the working
versions on Ubuntu 16.04, but also no success.

But using the dejavu fonts in e.g. libreoffice works fine.

Ubuntu 16.10 amd64
fonts-dejavu 2.37-1
libfreetype6 2.6.3-3ubuntu1
