Running fc-cache and restarting X makes no difference.

I cut & pasted the .font.conf file from the text above, and when
I ran fc-cache again after that, it says:

Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 6: junk after document element

I don't see any junk, so I'm not sure what it is complaining about.

Here's my recent updates:

Aug 31 07:05:41 (yumex) Updated: slang.i386 2.0.6-1.fc5

Everything looked fine yesterday.

Sep 01 07:10:37 (yumex) Updated: dejavu-fonts-makedefault.noarch 2.9.0-1.fc5

After the above chunk of updates, I noticed the font problems.

Sep 01 10:38:39 (yumex) Updated: mkinitrd.i386 5.0.32-2
Sep 01 10:38:43 (yumex) Updated: enscript.i386 1.6.4-3.fc5

I also see someone has just started a thread in the fedora-list mailing
list about how the fonts look horrible after he just updated :-).

I should mention I am not running KDE or GNOME under normal circumstances.
Just an fvwm window manager with a few apps up (like emacs, xterm, and firefox)
so whatever voo-doo the different GNOME and KDE font controls do isn't
normally active. I'm getting the vanilla default behavior for font
rendering (until I start running gnome tools to fiddle with things).

I'll go see if I can switch to a KDE session briefly and see what results
I get after fiddling the kde control panel.
