           Summary: Replace bitstream-vera dependencies with dejavu
                    dependencies
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

          Priority: medium

Bitstream Vera has long been deprecated in Fedora in favour of DejaVu, which is
a community fork and extension of the Bitsream release. The majority of users
will have DejaVu installed on system and pulling Vera in is a waste of
resources.

For Fedora 11, please consider changing the fbida deps on bitstream-vera-fonts
to one or several of:

 dejavu-fonts-sans
 dejavu-fonts-sans-mono
 dejavu-fonts-serif
 dejavu-fonts-lgc-sans
 dejavu-fonts-lgc-sans-mono
 dejavu-fonts-lgc-serif

Nowadays LGC is only installed for special cases, and people use the full
version of the fonts.

The compat packages are transitory and will be gone in F12
