Bug#706516: [wesnoth-1.10-core] Text in Wesnoth dialogs is unreadable, as Wesnoth can't access font

[Meinert]

Package: wesnoth-1.10-core
Version: 1:1.10.3-3
Severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Wesnoth can't access DejaVuSans.ttf as it uses a broken symlink.
Therefore it displays boxes for all letters in the dialogs.
This makes the game unusable. Correcting the link manual solves the issue.

user:~$ ls -l `locate -i DejaVuSans.ttf`
