 Bitstream Vera Sans is not an uncommon font in Windows.  According to
 this:

 http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-WindowsResultsFull.shtml

 ... it is found in 25% of Windows systems.

 So, in those systems, instead of the ideal and recently introduced
 Verdana, Bitstream Vera Sans will be used now, which is nowhere near
 Verdana as a web font.

 I happened to notice this on three different Windows computers in the last
 couple of days.  (I don’t know which program or programs install Bitstream
 Vera in Windows.  Probably OpenOffice is one -- it was common in all three
 installations.)
