Set 8pt tahoma in Windows XP and Linux. Use clear type in Windows XP and this method in Linux. Look at the font in Windows, then look at the font in Linux, then look at the font in Windows again. Yes. The font in Windows looks like in Linux never will be. I'm riding on a horse :D
ClearType patches from infinality were integrated into the latest freetype. They are not turned on by default (also, Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't have them yet). After compiling freetype with ClearType hinting turned on, there is very little difference.
