To fully assess differences requires a lot more inspection than you might to 
think.  Similarity varies as size, hinting, anti-alias & byte code interplay is 
varied, added or removed. Take a look at
http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-comps-amtlibms.html & 
http://fm.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-face-samples-libvar.html while varying the 
contents of ~.fonts.conf. Font tastes vary considerably. I use only KDE. The 
results
I like best happen when that file contains only the following:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit name="autohint" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>

Note that I use high resolution, with browser default font size set to 24px.
