Well, it's not that straight forward.  To simplify the matter, there are two 
things:  rendering engine (and how it is configured, e.g subpixel hinting 
etc) and the other is the typeface itself :)  So if you want to compare a 
particular version of Ubuntu with a particular version of Fedora you need to 
check those 2 things, at least.  

Regarding the freetype world package...Once you install it you need to enable 
subpixel hinting in your Desktop Environment (KDE or GNOME or whatever).   In 
KDE you need to go to Control Center/Fonts and then enable "use 
anti-aliasing" and once there click "Configure" to enable subpixel hinting.  

HTH,
Jorge

p.d Also you need to check if the dpi for your monitor is the same on both 
distros...Google is your friend.
