Better Fonts in Fedora than in Ubuntu
By default, text in Fedora 19 looks ok but not great. There are good tips to improve fonts on http://fedorasolved.org/Members/khaytsus/improve-fonts
As root user here is what need to be done:
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf
ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf
yum install freetype-freeworld
