Yes. But from some points of view DejaVu is not as
"good".
Do you have anything to document that? Do you know what superset means?
DejaVu's available charset is vastly larger, and continues to grow, since
it's FOSS and under constant development.
It will be a sad
day when Bitstream Vera is unavailable because it is considered an
anachronism.
It's an anachronism because it's development ceased years ago. I've not
installed it on any system in several years. Few if any would be able to
detect any difference between http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/font-vera.html
loaded on a Vera-only system and a DejaVu-only system.
