And here I thought it was supposed to be a mystery for entrants to actually
discover!  Oh well.  Bitstream Vera Sans is close (and is very definitely
free) and could be replaced without _too_ much soreness of eye if ideological
concerns take priority.

Unless of course someone has a font editor and can tweak Vera to look more
Trebuchet-ish (this is perfectly allowed under the Bitstream Vera license, so
long as you don't CALL it Bitstream Vera afterwards, and since it
doesn't inherit
at all from Trebuchet except for the suggestion of a few ornaments, one could
probably get away with such a shenanigan...).
