I do have the liberation fonts installed:
# rpm -qva|grep -i liberation
liberation-serif-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-1.fc13.noarch
liberation-sans-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-1.fc13.noarch
liberation-fonts-common-1.06.0.20100721-1.fc13.noarch
liberation-mono-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-1.fc13.noarch
I've also tried to change the anti-aliasing options to a few of the
others, but the page still mostly looks the same.

Yes, should have thought of this. This was really just an example --
for the most part, fonts in the browser look blurry.
Other ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
