Here are the Bitstream Vera files. I suggest that we make a /fonts toplevel directory in the CVS tree and add them. They add up to 564kb.
Maybe add them only for Windows? Reasons: 1) Linux users are more likely to have them already, and 2) they are generally less happy when a program installs something except itself.
I haven't looked, but isn't it possible in X to add a font for a specific application? Just add it to the font path? If so, it would make installing Inkscape on X a lot easier
On a modern system, you just drop them into ~/.fonts. But I don't know if it's acceptable for an RPM or install script to do this.
As for Windows, yes, ideally it should install these fonts, and at the very least, the installer should provide the fonts and tell the user to install them.
