Long ago we chose Bitstream Vera Sans/Serif/Sans Mono for our standard

operating system, and (b) those fonts are readable both onscreen and in
print, an important consideration for users of our documents.
However, Bitstream Vera fonts are no longer included with OOo. Now the
closest equivalent (which is identical in appearance) is Deja Vu
Sans/Serif/Sans Mono.
I think we should change our template to use Deja Vu. This is a good
time to make that change, since we're updating all the files for V3.2
anyway. I will be applying the latest template to each chapter as I
publish it.
Any comments? Reasons I haven't thought of for why we should not make
such a change? Problems I haven't thought of? Otherwise, I will go
ahead and change the template. I have a few other items to fix at the
same time (such as places where the "next style" is wrong).

Hi Jean,
I see no reason not to make the change. The reasons for using the
Bitstream font no longer exist so I would say go for it.
Happy New Year.
