I don't know anything about the specific needs of Google Earth, but one
starting point would be to check if the Bitstream Vera Sans font is
known under this name to your X:

fc-list | grep -i bitstream

If you run a font server it might also be important to check

fslsfonts -s unix/:7100 | grep -i bitstream

(You have to change the "7100" if your font server uses a different
 port.)
