Inkscape 0.48 was using Arial and Times New Roman as default serif and sans-serif fonts respectively.

I noticed that it has changed and Inkscape 0.91 is using DejaVu fonts as default serif and sans-serif fonts.

This is a serious problem, because DejaVu fonts have different metrics than Arial/Helvetica and Roman fonts used on most platforms as default serif and sans-serif fonts. So this change literally breaks things down.

I have not found any official information about the change, so I assume that it is a bug. Furthermore, I do not see any option in preferences to change default fonts.
