Is this a first step to create aircraft ID on fuselage ? I hope yes :-)

btw, ttf-bitstream-vera is indeed a good readable font.

about copyright issue:
There is a chapter: Bitstream Vera Fonts Copyright
which explains its licence. It is a very permissive license and I think
it will not create any sort of problem for FlightGear redistribution by
any means.
