Ubuntu's 10.10 /etc/fonts/

Description of problem:

Font rendering on Fedora 14 is poor compared to Ubuntu 10.10. If one uses
Ubuntu's /etc/fonts/ directory (that's it, fontconfig package) we would see
inmediatly a drastic improvement in font rendering. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
14

How reproducible:

Editing a text file in gedit.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make use of any application which contains a text box.
2.
3.

Actual results:

Poor rendering of fonts.

Expected results:

A good rendering.

Additional info:

I attach a .tar file which contains the directory /etc/fonts/ as provided by
Ubuntu 10.10.

If you want to test this just make a backup of your /etc/fonts directory, and
extract the file fonts-ubuntu.tar in /etc/.
