I'm on Fedora 14 and mine looks like this (which is more similar to your Ubuntu screenshot than the Fedora one): http://imagebin.org/136443 The only thing I did after a fresh installation was to install the freetype-freeworld package (which is the regular freetype package but compiled with the bytecode interpreter enabled). You need the RPMFusion (non-free) repo for that. After that, I just changed the settings to this: Smoothing --> (Subpixel (LCDs) Hinting ----> Slight Subpixel Order ---> RGB I know talking about how great or bad fonts look is highly subjective... but I totally agree there's a big difference between the 2 screenshots your presented. The font rendering in Fedora, out of the box, is not at the same level of neatness as that of Ubuntu.
