I'm glad you found the answer. You can probably work around this by
adding your own GUIEnter autocmd in an after/plugin directory or
something, if you haven't already found a workaround.

The function is somewhat strange in one point to me. If I understand
correctly, DejaVu fonts are mostly a superset of Bitstream Vera fonts,
so I'm confused why the script would prefer Bitstream Vera over
DejaVu. I'm also confused why it doesn't check for DejaVu on Windows,
that's my chosen font on Windows (and on Linux actually) and is
readily available.

You might file a bug report with the plugin author, that there does
not seem to be a way to easily override the plugin's font selection,
and with the above info about DejaVu vs. Bistream Vera, though perhaps
there is a reason for the latter.
