So now that Bitstream Vera seems to have been purged from Debian and Ubuntu, I think that the PiDiP text objects should use a different font as the default. The GNOME default font is now DejaVu, so that probably makes sense to use.

Otherwise, unless people manually install Bitstream Vera from outside of Debian/Ubuntu, they'll get this:

PiDiP : additional video processing objects for PDP version 0.12.24 ( ydegoyon@free.fr ) error: [pdp_text] error: could not load default font, no text rendering! install Bitstream Vera, it's free! (http://www.gnome.org/fonts/) error: [pdp_qtext] error: could not load default font, no text rendering! install Bitstream Vera, it's free! (http://www.gnome.org/fonts/)
