One thing that is puzzling is that even after installing
bitstream-vera-fonts, the Bitstream fonts do *not* appear in any font
listings. I had to manually run fc-cache in
/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera, and even after that they are still not
active.

Copying the fonts manually to ~/.fonts does activate them though, so
what gives? /usr/share/fonts is listed in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf; perhaps
fontconfig does not recursively traverse font dirs?
