Well, so i have installed freetype-freeworld, i am attaching here screenshots with opened firefox - same page with Ubuntu , and same page with Fedora.
If i can make to look Fedora looking like that, that i will switch to ubuntu because "smooth and good looking fonts" are really important for me.
Well i know very good, that Ubuntu is using its optimized "cairo" , but this is not about fonts, this is about way how fonts are antialiased and smoothed! :((
Does that freetype-freeworld is also used for ubuntu fonts rendering? (or they use something speciall)
1) Fedora 9 screenshot here http://www.hlacik.eu/fedora.bmp
2) Ubuntu 8.04 screenshot here http://www.hlacik.eu/ubuntu.bmp
Thanks in advance!

They're all about the same as each other, depending on the fonts in use
(size and the typeface), and your graphics driver. Web browsers add
another spanner in the works, as they often do their own font rendering.
