    I also really like Papyrus. Have you seen Sankhkare's home? He uses papyrus almost exclusively, and it look nice. Personally though, I prefer a font like Papyrus only in use occasionally here or there.

    I use it myself in my entrance, with a gold gradient fill and shadow I applied in an art program. Just as occasional headers, like 'welcome' etc. If you'd like I'd be willing to do that for you, or better yet, teach you how?

    Here is an example graphic of what I am talking about;

    In fact, I'll play around with some non-graphic regular html coded font play, and maybe you can get some ideas from this to put in your per/website?

    Here's Papyrus, in size 5.

    and here is what it looks like in coding;

    <font face="Papyrus" size="5" color="#F5B800">Your Text</font>

    This is a great alternative to Papyrus,and has similar font qualities if you notice, like slightly choppy edges, as chiseling in rock would do.

    This is Tempus Sans, and can be used large like this or smaller.

    This is Tempus Sans also, but smaller sized.

    and here is what it looks like in coding;

    <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" size="5" color="#cc99ff">Your Text</font>

    Here are the ones you mentioned, Meryt - Trebuchet:

    This is Trebuchet MS, in size 4.

    This is Trebuchet MS, in size 4 and italicized.

    and here is what it looks like in coding:

    <font face="Trebuchet MS" size="3" color="#8b8bb1">Your Text</font>

    Here are some more font faces, in coding and alternative colors; Font Play.
