Bug Description
Though fontfaces in tutorials are specified Bitstreams Vera Sans/Serif explicitly, IMHO, they should be specified abstractly (i.e. Sans, Serif or Monospace).
Because if specifying fontfaces abstractly, they will be displayed with appropriate fonts on each system, I think.
Additionally, you know Bitstream Vera doesn't include all language's fonts. So even if Bitstream Vera is installed, texts included fonts unsupported by Bitstream are displayed with mixture fonts. In that case the kerning and spacing don't work properly (in Japanese) though that is not serious problem.

I agree. I've replaced the fonts by generic ones (Sans, Serif) in the Slovak basic tutorial SVG, and I no longer have substitution issues, but incorrect spacing between chapters (on my XP computer, Sans and Serif are a bit smaller than their Bitstream version). I need to test on the tutorial building side to see how it behaves without the Bitstream fonts.
But there may be a good reason why the tutorials are build with these fonts. Does someone know?
