Trebuchet is inspired from the art deco purist lines. It is a new font, but reminiscent of the art deco typographies, adapted to be readable and is used a lot for web design. I don't know jack about modifying fonts, but I know quite a lot about the art deco mouvement (it's my job). Here more fyi, from the microsoft typography web pages :

The Trebuchet typeface family, like Verdana and Georgia, was created for use on the screen. Designed and engineered in 1996 by Microsoft’s Vincent Connare, it has a strong and unmistakable appearance. Borrowing elements from both the geometric and humanist classifications of sans serif type - Connare acknowledges the influence of designs as diverse as Gill Sans, Erbar, Frutiger, Akzidenz Grotesk and the US Highway signing system - Trebuchet infuses any page with energy and personality. Its letterforms, loosely based on sans serif typeface designs of the 1920s and 1930s, carry a large x-height and clean lines designed to promote legibility, even at small sizes.

Anyway,I am looking for a similar font but bolder to embed in my books.
