Its good to see that Vera development is not dead after all 8-)

I dropped two files, ArevSerif-Roman.ttf and ArevSerif-Bold.ttf in
http://widget.gnome.org/~sander/ - while there are no guarantees at all, 
including that the files correctly honour Vera Licence (they are not for 
redistribution and are only temporary) - if any of the additional 
characters / character composites are of help and would speed up the 
creation of a newer version of Vera Serif, you are more than welcome to 
use the characters.

Couldn't the releases be more gradual? For example in case of 
Openoffice.org that uses Vera as the default UI and document font, any 
additional larger addition will help the situation a lot and help 
resolve the present hodge-podge of fallbacks for cases outside the 
presently supported set.
