--- Comment #2 from Andreas M. Kirchwitz amk@krell.zikzak.de --- Sounds like a similar problem I have after a fresh installation from Fedora 25 to 26 (Workstation edition, official release with all recent updates). I'm using a copy of the font files for "Arial" and "Courier New" from an original MS Windows system. Both fonts look very pretty even *without* Anti-Aliasing, which can useful on screens with < 2K resolution.
"Arial" is specifically designed to look excellent with and without Anti-Aliasing. It's for a reason why this font is so popular. :-)
Starting with Fedora 26, "Arial" (and Courier New) looks ugly without Anti-Aliasing (like most non-bitmap fonts do for years). It still looks okay with Anti-Aliasing enabled.
I've tried with "gnome-tweak-tool" and also with ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf, but "Arial" won't look pretty without Anti-Aliasing.
There seems to be something broken with font rendering in Fedora 26.
