Well that image is for external spacings, but there were two more
images on the original page for internal spacings…

Internal spacings are only useful if you are editing the logo, which is something we don't want people to do, and advise against doing in the guidelines.

Yep, this situation is exactly what I had in mind.

I honestly can't think of any cases where it would be desirable to use Bitstream Vera Sans with the GNOME logo. It won't look particularly consistent or good. The GNOME project itself doesn't use Bitstream Vera Sans - Cantarell is our font - so I don't know why we'd suggest that others should.
