I'm also quite annoyed by missing symbols.

I've been to DejaVu website and clicked around to see if there's any list
showing what Unicode characters are supported by which DejaVu font but I failed
to find such list.  However, in STIX website, such list exists and it's easy to
find.

On the other hand, STIX seems to be a general, human languages-oriented font
rather than a mathematics-oriented font like STIX.  So I wonder if "adding more
math symbols" is the first priority for DejaVu.

Well, as a simple user, what I'd really care is whether my math expression is
shown or not.  I have no interest to get into any font war among OpenSymbol,
DejaVu and STIX.  It would be nice if they could combine symbols into official
font, or drop the font if other fonts have better support (ie they have more
symbols).
