Hi,
can I suggest replacing Bitstream Vera with DejaVu? Bitstream Vera fonts
have been unmaintained for more than 12 years and have a lot of hinting
issues, whereas DejaVu fonts are a very popular and well maintained fork
of them and have a very nice hinting. It might fix your issue and you
won't notice the difference.
Cheers,
Pierre
