Not sure if any issue at all, but as said in title, starting with Sphinx 2.0 (Spring 2019), XeLaTeX will be configured to use by default GNU FreeFont, (see https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blob/master/CHANGES), and this means new dependency (for documentation builds on Ubuntu, package fonts-freefont-otf; for builds on Fedora 29 it is texlive-gnu-freefont).  Indeed currently CPython PDFs are built using ``xelatex``.
