[TxMt] [OT] DejaVu: an improved Bitstream Vera

[John Labovitz]

I know I got turned onto the wonderful Vera monospaced font through  
this list, so I thought folks might be interested that there's an  
effort to greatly improve Vera.

Vera's an open source font, but is apparently not maintained by  
Bitstream.  So it's been forked as Deja Vu.  From glancing at the  
project's history page, and playing around with it a bit, it seems  
every bit as good as Vera, and has far better international support  
-- I noticed less-common diacriticals and Cyrillic glyphs, to start,  
and it seems there are many more.  They are intent on making it a  
full Unicode font.

Although most of the installation instructions seem complicated, for  
us OS X users it's easy: just download the zip file, and add the .ttf  
fonts to your system.
