Is there a better match for the font Arial than Arial?

Question

Unfortunately the Arial font that is present in LibreOffice (which ships with Ubuntu) looks far off from the Arial on a Windows PC. Is there a better match for it?

If you installed Arial using the ttf-mscorefonts-installer then you have the very same Microsoft font on your machine.

Arial is merely the Microsoft version of Helvetica, you can try Liberation Sans instead, but this is a question of personal taste.
