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.
