After latest updates I think that characters have become unpleasant
(check for example Firefox menus and aldo Libreoffice menus)
Anyone else experiencing same issue???

"Unplesant" isn't much of a description :-). If you
mean thin and spindly and hard to read, you might
want to try this:

cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
ln -s ../conf.avail/10-autohint.conf .

Thank you for that lovely hint - it has fixed an irritation I have had
with Thunderbird for ages! It should be included in the list of common
problems or at least in one of the lists of Fedora hints and tips
somewhere.......

Beware: This is not a miracle drug. In my case, adding this symbolic
link makes fonts look worse.

If it still helps the OP, I have used this link with a good result on
F15. If it does not work, simply remove the created conf. file.

You have full control over hinting and alike via the .fonts.conf file.
This is what I'm used to have in there:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >

</edit>
</match>

</edit>
