I think it looks good, but there's a "human" element to Trebuchet that Vera
really doesn't stand up to. Have a look at Apple's old corporate typeface
(the serif one) and their new sans one -> they're very... personable and
approachable. Vera is too hard for that.

If we could find another font that had a similar human/approachable feel,
I'd be keen to switch. But finding a Free font like that is Hard.
