Neither of emacs -q or -Q gives any problem
But
$ emacs -fn  "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10"
gives me
Font `Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10' is not defined

Note Ive installed the ttf-bitstream-vera debian package; which
supplies the files:

VeraBd.ttf  VeraIt.ttf    VeraMoBI.ttf  VeraMono.ttf  VeraSe.ttf
VeraBI.ttf  VeraMoBd.ttf  VeraMoIt.ttf  VeraSeBd.ttf  Vera.ttf

in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera

What else do I need to do?
