Any specific reason not to use "Trebuchet MS"? I faced some issues with the few
components (ilke Table Header cell, NS Button) text vertical center alignment except that Look and

size for the same text.

The reason to this is quite simple. Do not force a font to the System
instead use the System defaults. Use special fonts for special purposes,
but stay with the defaults for all other cases. It's not so much an
issue of different sizes or something. It's good citizenship if an app
respects the system defaults. The defaults are there for a simple
reasong - to ensure a consisten user experince.
Not everyone will notice, not every one will care, but there are some,
that take this stuff quite seriously ;).

I am working on an application which will display Same font (Trebuchet MS)

Please don’t do this. Unless you actually want your app to look like a careless
port, and give lots of people a bad first impression of it.
