: Trebuchet MS web font alternatives I have a fairly dated site that uses Trebuchet MS font in Latin and Cyrillic scripts. If I understand correctly, once (a decade ago) this font was available

@Pope1402555

PT Sans is similar to Trebuchet, has an open user license, and is "pan-Cyrillic". www.paratype.com/public/
They are also in Google Web Fonts

I searched for an alternative, and found a perfect (?) one: Fira Sans (above) — a Google web font.

I've observed that the free/libre Sawasdee font, while far from a clone, has similar features. Here's a comparison of Sawasdee Bold versus Trebuchet MS regular:

Both Aller



and Source Sans Pro have commonalities with Trebuchet MS,

in particular the curved tail on the lower case letter L:



The fonts are freely available from fontsquirrel.com. However, only Source Sans Pro is a webfont, Aller
is desktop only.

For comparison, here is Trebuchet MS Regular:

Having Cyrillic as a requirement severely limits your options. The only comparable font I can find that has both latin and cyrillic is Open Sans. Stylistically it's not very close, but at least it's free

One thing to get out there right away:
It looks like you want 1) free, 2) multiple weights, and 3) extended character sets. That's a difficult combination. With a lot of these, a combination of 1 and 3 is possible, that usually means you have to pay to get 2. If 1 and 2 are combined, it's often at the expense of 3.

Back to your question...

Trebuchet is classified as a sans-serif humanist font. Unfortunately for you, Trebuchet is a really unique font. Off of the top of my head I can't think of something that's really similar in the same way that Proxima Nova and Gotham are, or Times and Times New Roman.

FontSquirrel is a great resource for free fonts that can be used commercially as webfonts. The link I provided links you to all of their fonts tagged as "humanist". Out of these, I think Aller gives you the right general proportion and a variety of styles, though the letterforms for plenty of these are going to be different, and there are no Cyrillic characters that I could see. Droid Sans is a humanist font that has a lot of glyphs in it, but won't look and feel exactly like Trebuchet. Same story with Pigiarniq and Source Sans.

Another poster mentioned Google Web Fonts, so I won't repeat the exercise there.

Just for kicks, I ran Trebuchet's glyphs through Identifont to see what it thought was similar. None of these will be free solutions, but they might be better fonts for you to work with. Identifont suggests Prox, FF Plus, Corbel, Elsa, and Corpid as alternatives.

If someone comes up with a great alternative to Trebuchet, then that'll certainly be better than this answer. Otherwise, hope these resources point you in the right direction!

Although it's not free, Trebuchet is available as a web font.

i would suggest that you go to Google and search for a font called "Allerta
" its is a sans-serif font like Trebuchet and has some similar letters or close enough letters.
