Public bug reported: As of a recent update, It seems the "Sans" alias is a bit broken. It's supposed to map onto DejaVu Sans as far as I am aware, and while this is true for the "Regular" variant, the "Italic" variant seems to be using DejaVu Sans Condensed.
You can check this yourself by installing "specimen" and opening the "Sans" typeface. Now compare it with "DejaVu Sans".
