Gnome Foundation
Gnome Foundation

Beta test versions of Bitstream Vera Font family are now available. Note that while you may
download these fonts for your personal use, the beta
test versions may not be redistributed at all. The link below describes
both the current version, (named 1.0, as that is the versions embedded in
the font files), and the draft copyright for the final version, due out
next month.

Re: Bitstream Vera Fonts 1.0 beta released

Another bug: some programs (e.g., PuTTY for Windows) don't recognize the monospaced font as monospaced, because the "isFixedPitch" setting in the POST table is 0 rather than 1.

Verified that this is the problem by hacking the font with no intent to re-distribute...changing the isFixedPitch value makes the font available in PuTTY.
