In F15 there are two changes :

1. force Cantarell on everyone just because it's "new" and "not used
elsewhere", despite the fact ils lacks coverage so you get mixed glyphs as soon
as you use more than the most basic latin

2. activate BCI in fontconfig to get window-ish font appearance (it was
patented it must be good, in the cigarettes are bad for your health let's be
'leet and smoke teen logic sense)

Both there changes were known to produce massive fallout and have been applied
without concertation. There's no need to argue there (those changes are not
bugs, they are deliberate setting changes by gnome3 fedora people), make some
noise on mailing lists and irc if you want to change the maintainers minds
