You have to re-order your fonts in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
There's some info on doing this at http://www.gimp.org/fonts.html
You might think that this would only apply to the gimp but it ain't
so! This will make the fonts in X, netscape, the gimp and about
everything else you run in X look better. RPM's for the additional
fonts packages mentioned at that site are available in the
contrib/noarch sections at sunsite.unc.edu.
Cheers!

This isn't true in practice -- what we've missed out is Stradivarius's
constant. And then the aside: "For those of you who don't know, that's
been called by others the fiddle factor..."
