Description
We're trying to fix the font in our MPL scripts to avoid PNG and PDF images changing depending on who produced it (Linux / Mac machines, different MPL versions).
So our idea was to find one font that everyone has and set that font.
How can I find out if I have 'Bitstream Vera Sans' (or some other font) available in my MPL install?
I tried this and got a RunTimeError.
Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?
