Most of the defaults upstream are largely due to legal issues that are no longer applicable.
As of very recently, Marik did make one change: subpixel rendering is now enabled by default in Fedora's freetype package (if you have the latest F29 updates) at build time, whereas it's still disabled by default upstream. But it remains disabled at runtime. But I don't think that's due to legal reasons. I think it's just because that's what Nikolaus prefers. He's an expert on font rendering, and I'm not, so you'd have to ask him.
Another difference is that we disable bitmap fonts at the fontconfig level, because it's insane not to. That really ought to be changed upstream.
And Fedora is the only distribution I know of that actually actively maintains a very large fontconfig configuration for every single font.
I wasn't aware of this? Michael
