Vera sans is not a font name. There is no 1-to-1 mapping of that name to a 
font. So expect different apps to pick different fonts for this.
And when I say 'font' here I mean one specific file; so not just "Helvetica" 
but one specific implementation of that.

By all apps using the same font and all apps using the same library that 
parses the font file and calculates where the glyphs are positioned.
The first problem is mostly a user and distro problem. Stop using "Sans Serif" 
and similar fonts, but use a real font that all distros ship.
The second problem is being solved by openDesktop using harfbuzz. Google if 
you want to figure out what that does.
