oblique) and two serif faces (normal and bold). Fontconfig/Xft2 (see
www.fontconfig.org) can artificially oblique the serif faces for you:
this loses hinting and distorts the faces slightly, but is visibly
different than normal and bold, and reasonably pleasing.

On systems with fontconfig 2.0 or 2.1 installed, making your sans,
serif and monospace fonts default to these fonts is very easy.  Just
drop the file local.conf into your /etc/fonts directory.  This will
make the Bitstream fonts your default fonts for all applications using
fontconfig (if sans, serif, or monospace names are used, as they often
are as default values in many desktops). The XML in local.conf may
need modification to enable subpixel decimation, if appropriate,
however, the commented out phrase does so for XFree86 4.3, in the case
that the server does not have sufficient information to identify the
use of a flat panel.  Fontconfig 2.2 adds Vera to the list of font
families and will, by default use it as the default sans, serif and
monospace fonts.

During the testing of the final Vera fonts, we learned that screen
fonts in general are only typically hinted to work correctly at
integer pixel sizes.  Vera is coded internally for integer sizes only.
