If you get the same result as the first Fedora screenshot, you are using the 
bytecode interpreter in FreeType (you use the hinting from the font), but not 
the latest DejaVu. Resolution: update DejaVu.

If you get the same result as the second Fedora screenshot, you are using the 
autohinter in FreeType (you discard the hinting from the font, generally 
resulting in worse results, like the phi which doesn't have his vertical line 
centered). Resolution: enable the bytecode interpreter in FreeType and disable 
autohinting, and make sure to use the latest version of DejaVu. Fedora by 
default disables the bytecode interpreter because of patent issues.
