I recently did a clean update of fedora and found the font to render quite blurry.
What I found out:
1) gnome-tweak-tool font settings do not work. At the time of the post any of the font settings did not make a difference.
2) You may start trying to use font-tweak-tool or font-manager. Be aware that these may create font config files in your ~/ or in ~/.config
These may need to be deleted so that your gnome settings take precedence.
Note: I've installed microsoft and ubuntu fonts for linux.
So what's the fix?
a) Go to Settings > Fonts and change the settings here to Anti Aliasing: rgba and Hinting: full
At this point your terminal should look good.
b) For me, firefox and sublime text had bad looking fonts.
There's a directory in /etc/fonts/conf.d that controls some additional font rendering. It's odd that there's no GUI to modify this directly.
sudo ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
sudo rm /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf
Log out and Log back in and things should be clearer.

Your post just saved me hours of searching and pulling hair. Many, many thanks!
By any chance, have you figured out how to fix the "blurry font" issue for Qt5 applications? Or at least do they look blurry in your case? I'm using MATE Desktop (which is not very usual) so I'm thinking that maybe it's not the same for everybody.
