When I run Google Earth, I get a warning message that says:

That's obsolete language. Most distributions used to ship with Vera. There's no reason for them to any more....
If you don't
have it, you can find a free download and installations at the following link. We will continue with whatever font we could find, but some text may look incorrect.
Yast shows that "bitstream-vera Bitstream Vera(tm) Truetype fonts Ver. 1.10-199 is installed.
I am reluctant to go to the gnome site and install a second version for fear of incompatibilities later.
Also, I d/l'd the listed package, and the fonts in the package match up namewise with the fonts listed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/Vera*.
SuSE 10.2/32
Has anyone else seen and fixed this?
Fixed this by downloading fonts from Gnome site, unzipping and copying them to "/usr/share/fonts/truetype".
It's Google Earth that's broken. There's nothing to fix on the SUSE end. DejaVu is a currently developed superset of the no longer developed Vera. So unless you uninstalled DejaVu, you have everything Vera had to offer. -- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
