Trebuchet MS is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Vincent Connare for the Microsoft Corporation in 1996. It is named after the trebuchet, a medieval siege engine.

Trebuchet MS distinguishes itself from other common sans-serif typefaces through several characteristics, the most notable of which include:

* The splayed edges of the uppercase M which form a 10° angle with a vertical line,
* The shape of the tail of the uppercase Q,
* The bar of the capital A is low,
* The shortened tails of the lowercase e and the numerals 6 and 9,
* The hybrid open and looped tail of the lowercase g,
* The rounded dots above and the shapes of the lowercase i and j,
* The curved tail beneath the lowercase l,
* The dollar sign symbol, in which the vertical strike only appears above the top and below the bottom curves of the S,
* The ampersand in the form of an "Et" ligature and
* The exclamation point, whose dot is large and round.
* Italic fonts incorporate italic type characteristics instead of just tilting roman glyphs, making it the first sans serif font family from Microsoft to use true italic features.

I know that in the MS published game Age of Empires 2, Trebuchets kicked ass.

^^^Yes they did. My brother used to mispronounce the word trebuchet as "trench bucket" when reading the strategy guide for that game.

If you are going to make this thread, the least you could do to make it informative would be to type

MQAe69gijl$&! ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

in Trebuchet MS and in Arial/TNR/Garamond/etc.
