Hi,

In r484,

{{{
sym = TextSymbolizer('name', 'DejaVu Sans Book', int(point_size), Color('black'))
}}}

works fine, while

{{{
sym = TextSymbolizer('name', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Roman', int(point_size), Color('black'))
}}}

fails silently, i.e. no labels are drawn.

There should be some error indication, not silent failure.
