Hithere,

I wonder how to install a font on DSL, I need < MS Trebuchet > on my box. It is within this Microsoft Fonts you can have as package for Linux too, but I can't figure out how to install this font on DSL.

That is probably a true type font and DSL uses bitmapped fonts. Anyway if you are using OpenOffice you might get them to work. See this link:

I have installed some of the bitmap fonts but not all apps can use them. If you have an app that you know will work you can upgrade to XFree86 but I haven't tried this:
