Created attachment 501397
  --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=501397
Screen shot of office writer document with different size fonts in same
families.

Description of problem:

On my fedora 15 system, the fonts all render terribly by default, being
completely thin and spindly. After much investigation, I find various
settings down in the /etc/fonts config files to do things like turn
off hinting for fonts smaller than 7.5 (what units 7.5 are in, I'm not
sure), but in fact hinting seems to be turned off for fonts up to
point size 13 as the attached screenshot of a libreoffice document
seems to show.

So many pieces are involved in font rendering, I don't know for sure
if pango is the right component for this, but it is my best guess.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pango-1.28.4-1.fc15.x86_64
cairo-1.10.2-3.fc15.x86_64
fontconfig-2.8.0-3.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See screenshot of office writer image
2.
3.

Actual results:
All fonts 13 points and under rendered incredibly spindly.

Expected results:
Better font rendering.
