Good info. I'm saving this for future reference, but one thing I have
noticed is that Ubuntu (which as far as I know adopts all
the same font infrastructure as fedora) always looks
about 1000 times better in the font area in a brand new
install, not yet customized, just what the live image
provides.
I've never been able to track down the specific differences
between what ubuntu provides for fonts and what fedora
provides. Maybe they just spend some time picking default
fonts that simply look better.
You may have something there. Right off the top they provide their own
default set at "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family".
UbuntuMono-RI.ttf
UbuntuMono-B.ttf
Ubuntu-R.ttf
Ubuntu-B.ttf
Ubuntu-C.ttf
Ubuntu-BI.ttf
UbuntuMono-R.ttf
Ubuntu-RI.ttf
Ubuntu-LI.ttf
Ubuntu-L.ttf
Ubuntu-M.ttf
Ubuntu-MI.ttf
UbuntuMono-BI.ttf
That pretty much covers everything with Lite, Condensed, Medium,
Regular, and Mono fonts, with bold and/or italic styles where applicable.
