I believe that Ubuntu has patched some libs to tweak the font rendering.

In the Arch Linux i've found packages with patches from Ubuntu:

freetype2-ubuntu fontconfig-ubuntu libxft-ubuntu cairo-ubuntu

There is a way to convert the equivalent ubuntu packages to fedora or
compile the fedora libs with the ubuntu patches and generates a rpm package?

The screenshots show that you have got sub-pixel anti-aliasing enabled

anti-aliasing is the appropriate choice for an LCD display.
How does one go about enabling sub-pixel AA? Or is it a property of the
fonts themselves? I am running F14.
On XFCE, I select Preferences -> Appearance and change properties in
the Fonts tab.

I am using Gnome (2) though, but it seems the procedure is almost
identical. Thanks!
