I just did, and they don't look much different, at least the Liberation Sans doesn't. Overall, I think most people could live with them. They don't look as professional as agfa-fonts Sans does, which is a downer, but if we must go with them they probably won't be that much of a problem.
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. -- "Love is not easily angered.
