Been using Fedora 15 for a few months now and always noticed that the fonts don't always look as great as they should.

Found this patch today and really makes a big difference, check it out here:

http://www.infinality.net/blog/subpixel-hinting-patch-for-freetype/

You basically just need to install this repository: http://www.infinality.net/fedora/linux/infinality-repo-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

Then install the following packages from the repo:

freetype-infinality
infinality-settings

Log out and back in and voila!
 
Thank you tim. I installed Fefora 15 yesterday and I rather like it. The software centre is a bit crap compared to Mint and Ubuntu. It is not packaged as neatly I think.

The font has really bugged the living crap out of me...but did not know how to change it as Fedora you cant seem to change the theme and customise it with fonts. Will give this a go tonight for sure.
