Does the dir /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/ exist?
If not you have to install: x11-fonts/bitstream-vera and follow the
instructions to change your xorg.conf and then restart X.
If it exists, you have to add the dir to xorg.conf like so:
FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/"
under the "Files" section. Restart X.
X should read ~/.Xdefaults on start up & your font will be used for
aterm.
xlsfonts should also now list the bitstream vera fonts.
