With the exact same fonts? OpenSolaris, Ubuntu & SuSE all use the same
FreeType library for font rendering, so the same font should be rendered
the same on all three (modulo FreeType version skew between the releases).
The fonts included and the font configuration is typically where most of
the differences are between the distros now. OpenSolaris does have some
additional high quality, but not redistributable, fonts available in the
extra repo:
