fontconfig-font-replacements provides free substitutions for popular
proprietary fonts from Microsoft and Apple operating systems.
It makes your web browsing more aesthetically pleasing - you won't be seeing DejaVu Sans font on every damn webpage.
Default for Fedora are slight hinting and grayscale antialiasing.
Some people find subpixel antialiasing to look better - others can't stand
color fringing caused by it. If you want to try it for yourself install
fontconfig-enhanced-defaults package. You can also enable it manually
in Gnome Tweaks or by running following command in terminal:
dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings/antialiasing "'rgba'"
to change back to grayscale (default) antialiasing:
dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings/antialiasing "'grayscale'"
