For what I have seen over the years, 90%+ of the fonts we use have free 
versions that are very similar.  Similar enough that most people will 
not notice the difference.


I think Liberation Sans can replace Albany and Liberation Serif replaced 
Thorndale.

Both are free fonts.

below is a quote about this.

http://blogs.computerworld.com/liberation_fonts_for_linux
There are three sets of Liberation fonts: Sans (a substitute for Arial, 
Albany, Helvetica, Nimbus Sans L, and Bitstream Vera Sans), Serif (a 
substitute for Times New Roman, Thorndale, Nimbus Roman, and Bitstream 
Vera Serif) and Mono (a substitute for Courier New, Cumberland, Courier, 
Nimbus Mono L, and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono). Specifically, Sans is 
closest to Arial; Serif works best as a replacement for Times New Roman; 
and Mono is a near-twin to Courier New.
