Information about the BitstreamVera fonts and downloads can be found with [GNOME's announcement | http://www.gnome.org/fonts/]. The wiki uses the BitstreamVera fonts if you have them installed.
Most distributions should have a package for the BitstreamVera fontset. If yours doesn't, see FontNotes for links and howtos on how to install them manually. If you want to check to see if they are installed correctly and how they look on your computer, run __xfontsel__, select "bitstream" from the ''fndry'' (foundry) dropdown and "bitstream vera" from the ''fmly'' (family) dropdown. For the following distributions, the package is called
;; [Debian] : __ttf-bitstream-vera__ (in Testing/sarge and Unstable/sid)
;; RedHat rawhide : __bitstream-vera-fonts__
;; [Slackware] 9.1 : __ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-noarch-2__
