Caveats

1. Currently, there is no official website for this font, but it is expected to be available soon.
2. The font is dual license. One of them is Bitstream Vera license and the other is a modified version of that. The licensing situation is clarified here: Message by the author about the font and its licensing situation
3. The font is used in FarsiTel project and one of them is available at: http://farsitel.com/fa/fonts/irsans.ttf

Additional information

Newer version of these fonts (probably with a different name) with an official page is expected to be available soon by the author.
