That's a font spec requesting a non-bold non-italic font named
"trebuchet ms" at 100 dpi, at any size. Adding a point size might
help; for 11 pt,
-*-trebuchet ms-medium-r-*-*-*-110-100-100-*-*-*-*
I like to fill in as many of the fields as is practical, though. I
generally prefer scalable fonts, which X is somewhat reluctant to
provide if there are any "*"s in the size fields; "0" has a similar
meaning but prefers scalable fonts. Explicitly specifying the font
encoding also avoids some class of surprises. So I'd actually use
-*-trebuchet ms-medium-r-normal--0-110-100-100-*-0-iso8859-1
(Well, I'd actually use -*-helvetica-... for a sans serif font, but
anyways. :-)
