Tried it on 1280x800 LCD, in general looks good and clear, with
greyscale and subpixel(BGR) hinting, struggled to notice any extra
benefit from hinting above "slight" setting.
One thing which looked *MUCH* worse was using DejaVu Serif within
firefox, text was spiderish, and kerning was uneven, letters ran
directly into each other

So I just set the default proprtional font to DejaVu Sans in firefox.
I'm not too fond of DejaVu Serif, or serif fonts in general. However if
you have much worse rendering than Vera Serif in the same app with no
other changes there is a problem (it's probably in firefox BTW)
Could you please prepare two screenshots, one with Vera Serif the other
with DejaVu Serif, and post the info I listed on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts/DejavuFeedbackCall#head-03bc0dbd60331...
?
If disabling pango in firefox helps but Vera is still better, can you do
a third screenshot ?
Lastly if you remove the dejavu packages from your system, and install
dejavu LGC from
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download,
does it help ?
I'd still choose to install DejaVu fonts, presumable Vera
wouldn't be
removed by this?
DejaVu won't remove Vera. However it may be used instead of Vera in
fontconfig aliases such as Sans, Serif and monospace.
You can remove the makedefault package and follow the procedure on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts/DejavuFeedbackCall#head-ab1ec2f7a8e50...
to just have the font files installed without touching the Fedora
current font setup.
