The Bitstream VERA font, the first truely crossplatform solution

[Mark MacKenzie]

Just went to Bitstream and searched the whole site and then just within 
the fonts for "Vera" and came up with zero results for the font but 
plenty of hits within news releases.  However, the news releas stuff 
seemed to be useless.

I remain very interested in seeing this font but at the moment can't 
find it.  I will try a www search and see what happens.  Perhaps 
Bitstream as a commercial entity doesn't want too much publicity for a 
free font on its web site.
