Shouldn't be a problem, I think. This is just a server notification and 
I just updated and it loaded fine.

If you're having problems with this, you could just add a method 
StrikeFont class>>initialize which calls installDejaVu. If you ever need 
to change the fonts again just touch the method - when MC loads a newer 
version of a class initialize method it will execute it again.
