When comparing, please disregard the headings that wound up being
anti-aliased on Win2K but not on FC2.
As you can see, the results are not identical, and, I think, look
poorer on Fedora.
I think they both look terrible. I'm running Firefox-1.0 on FC/3,
with my font setting for Proportional set to San-Serif 14pt, San-Serif
set to Arial, and "Always use my fonts" checked (selected) -- it looks
terrible; however, changing San-Serif to san-serif, Bitstream Vera
Sans, Luxi Sans, Nimbus Sans L, or Tahoma makes www.slashdot.org look
terrific!
Actually, Arial also looks great -- I upgraded to FC/3 the day it was
released (actually, I bought a new hard drive and made a fresh
installation); in any case, I'd upgrade and install the
msttcorefonts-1.3-3 RPM package.
