"Toga Sans™ is the result of an evening spent with the Bitstream Vera Sans™ font and the pfaedit program. Essentially, just as Microsoft's Tahoma™ was designed as a screen-width friendlier version of their Verdana™ (and Bitstream Vera Sans appears to have been strongly influenced by Verdana), Toga is meant to be a narrower version of Vera. In fact, that's what it literally is, because I ended up just using "scale" on all the characters and then adjusting the metrics accordingly. It looks better than the versions where I tried to manually adjust kern pairs and whatnot. Per the Bitstream Vera Sans license agreement, I have renamed the font and removed Bitstream's name despite the minimal amount of work I did, and this modified font is available under the same terms."
Sounds like you were right...
