None that I am aware of (apart from rumors). You can check on http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ Vera was last updated three years ago. And it's not because its bug-free or complete - you can compare on http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/font/index.htm the coverage of Vera with that of its derivatives (DejaVu for example). This is one reason why changing the default font to one which has an active (and reactive) upstream you can report problems to is a Good Thing™ -- Nicolas Mailhot
