There's definitely a difference between the two of them - if you run a system where Vera is the default, you sometimes see the appearance change if you enter some character that requires it to switch to DejaVu... I've mostly noticed it in Eclipse, on the RedHat 5 boxes at work... Personally, I'm happy to just use DejVu for everything - Vera might be a little superior, but not so much that I can bother installing it... Simon.
