Trebuchet MS fails it

This is totally unrelated to STW, but I figured I needed a new post on here.

Ever used Trebuchet MS? I really like the font, until I checked out the accuracy of some of the characters. Check this out:

Seriously, the dollar sign misses the main part of the vertical line, the yen sign misses a horizontal line, and the ampersand just looks weird. Amirite? Amirite? Good thing they didn't screw up the euro sign.

Also, lol:

Who would pay 80 dollars for a font?
