I use 20 pt. in my e-mails, but I think you should probably use 14 or 16 pt. in your posts. But, whatever, it's the words that count, not the font.

Trebucht likely requires a few more strips of lead between lines. Adding additional leading between lines is usually the best way to improve legibility. Type size doesn't matter as much as leading. Wow, type size and leading...no wonder I hate designing for the web. They are all fairly easy to read.
