We can't, MS page on Tahoma links to Ascender Corp website when you
can buy it [1]. Wikipedia says there's a free counterpart, Wine
Tahoma, included in Wine. Maybe we can use that? Or, somebody writes
to Ascender and asks whether they would provide a free license for
phpMyAdmin.

Good free font families I know of are Droid and DejaVu [2].
