Comment 6 for bug 383020

ftview is part of Freetype. Here's what I see on Very.ttf on my Ubuntu 9.04 box:
ftdump /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf
There is 1 face in this file.

----- Face number: 0 -----

font name entries
   family: Bitstream Vera Sans
   style: Roman
   postscript: BitstreamVeraSans-Roman

font type entries
   FreeType driver: truetype
   sfnt wrapped: yes
   type: scalable
   direction: horizontal
   fixed width: no
   glyph names: yes
   EM size: 2048
   global BBox: (-375,-483):(2636,1901)
   ascent: 1901
   descent: -483
   text height: 2384
   glyph count: 268

charmaps
   0: platform 1, encoding 0
   1: platform 3, encoding 1 (active)

I think it could be useful if you provided versions for the packages:
ttf-bitstream-vera (the package containing the Very.ttf font)
fontconfig
freetype
libpango (not sure if it is still used on trunk for font selection).
