I have noticed that the same application appears differently in different distros, even when having the same window manager. The different themes may have something to do with it. But, still there is no reason for an application to seem unpolished. In some cases, like in PC Linux, the text in the Opera menus look much better that in any other distro. And setting the fonts in some cases produced conspicuous jagged edges in menus and windows, almost as if the fonts are bitmap based (not sure if this is indeed the case).
I need to test if having the same theme and all visual settings the same has any impact.

I've been using PCLinuxOS for nearly two years now. I'm quite happy with the way it looks, including the fonts. Fedora looked good too when I was using it. But I wouldn't go back to Fedora because it was more work to get it the way I like than PCLinuxOS.
