Fontophile
Slashdot says that the Vera font family has been released. I’ve installed it on both Durandal and Cortana (that would be the PC and the Mac, respectively), and it looks very sweet for a free, open sourced font.
I’m still sticking to Lucida Grande as default font in Safari, though. It looks nicer than Vera Sans, though Vera Sans is a bit clearer. I also didn’t quite like that Vera Sans Oblique is so broad. Vera is, just like Verdana, optimized for screen displays.
Grab the Vera family from here, or check out a screenshot of the family. Though, as I said, it’s made for screen displays, and not in the sizes in the screenshot.

Gee. While I think it is a great idea, I’m not entirely keen on the finished result. The “m” looks a bit wrong, especially in the monotype font. And the italics are just the normal letters but with a slight slant. Other than that, I applaud them. Free scrren fonts are needed.
