Sorry but you mean there are cases when Vera fonts cause troble with some programs?

If we use Vera fonts of ttf-bitstream-vera I guess we need to link them also or something similar. Also please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573479 I'm not sure if it is good or bad to remove Vera fonts.
