  Jonathon Delacour: Bitstream Vera? Not for me, thanks!
I wish the Bitstream Vera (download) family would spread beyond the Linux crowd; not hard, considering it’s free in both senses.
I’d downloaded the Bitstream Vera family a while ago (from the Gnome site) but hadn’t got around to installing the fonts.
It doesn't look like any of the Bitstream Vera fonts _have_ a u-macron or o-macron character, or any of the rest of Latin Extended-A. What you see in Firefox and Safari is the result of font substitution.

The Bitstream Vera license, the starting point for most free font licenses, is several years old.
The Bitstream Vera license, for example, specifically prevents derivatives from using the words "Bitstream" or "Vera." "It is not enough for a designer to have the ability to disclaim any derivative that they don't like," says Victor Gaultney, one of the writers of the SIL Open Font license.
Today, the Bitstream Vera license is used by a number of other free fonts, including the Vera derivative Bera.

Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to do so either.
