And which style of rendering you prefer depends on your vision, 
personal preference and prior experience with rendering on other systems. 

The standard on what you or I want is irrelevant.  Windows, Mac and the mobile platforms iOS/Android define the baseline for font-rendering and this is the standard for which web-designers work hard to craft their pages.  Relative to those systems Fedora's out-of-the-box configuration is incorrect and out of place.

I myself am perfectly fine with the way fonts appear out of the box on
Fedora. Maybe I am just not very picky when it comes to fonts.

As long as I have a great terminal color-scheme I'm happy but I also think that great looking web-pages are also important too.

Font rendering is a very subjective topic, and one that people like to
complain endlessly about. There's certainly no single 'correct'
rendering, but instead a continuum depending on whether you put more
