Which fonts? All of the fonts I use on Fedora (pretty much all the
defaults) look significantly better than a default Windows desktop, and
better than OS X, IMO.
Just yesterday I was looking at this:

The author believes that the BCI examples are much better. Some of the
examples are maybe slightly better, but mostly just seem awful and
jagged to me. I prefer the AA fonts, with or without BCI. Commenters
appear to largely agree with me.
I'm sure that opinions vary, but I really don't think fonts on Fedora
are bad.
