Does this still hold, if you exchange Bitstream Vera Serif with DejaVu
Serif? The Bitstream Vera fonts i.e. don't have explicit oblique shapes,
but the DejaVu fonts have.

The DejaVu fonts are derived from the Bitstream Vera fonts, but add more
glyphs, particularily for eastern european languages, but should be
exchangeable with the Bitstream Vera fonts.
