Just chiming in again.  I wasn't able to participate in the naming of Fedora 20 but I LOVE it.

 Best name yet :)  P.S.  Can't wait to fire up a brand new Fedora 20 stick---  it might be a few
 weeks though.  Until then I am living vicariously through your conversations....

Subject: Re: Default font configuration doesn't look right on Fedora...

And which style of rendering you prefer depends on your vision, 
personal preference and prior experience with rendering on other systems. 

The standard on what you or I want is irrelevant.  Windows, Mac and the mobile platforms iOS/Android define the baseline for font-rendering and this is the standard for which web-designers work hard to craft their pages.  Relative to those systems Fedora's out-of-the-box configuration is incorrect and out of place.

I myself am perfectly fine with the way fonts appear out of the box on
Fedora. Maybe I am just not very picky when it comes to fonts.

As long as I have a great terminal color-scheme I'm happy but I also think that great looking web-pages are also important too.

Font rendering is a very subjective topic, and one that people like to
complain endlessly about. There's certainly no single 'correct'
rendering, but instead a continuum depending on whether you put more
emphasis on sharpness or shape or uniformity. And which style of
