fc-match won't give proper results because it matches in a different way than WebKit. WebKit will walk down the font list until it matches a font with the same name. So it won't use "DejaVu Sans" here because it doesn't have the same name as "Segoe UI" or whatever font it matched. You might try doing the same thing manually, though I suspect the issue is with Helvetica or Arial.
