Ok, sorry for the confusion. I've finally tracked down this font :-)
The "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" truetype font is present in the
xorg-x11-fscl-6.8.99.901-1 package, but not in the corresponding source
package, it seems probably due to a packaging error.
It's not included in the set of fonts available from X.Org currently, so we
don't currently have a package for it. (There may be a couple of other fonts
which fall into this category)
Please bear with me and I'll try to generate a package for this font.
In the meantime, you could probably download the font from
http://www.gnome.org/fonts/, install the .ttf files into /usr/share/fonts and
run fc-cache
