fonts in terminal
for nearly every font i've got bad spacing for letters like for example l. example
Why it looks like this? How can I get normal look?

I think that terminals (emulators..etc) have not good rendering support for such Fonts (regular fonts).
You must use the monospaced fonts if available. For example, try the DejaVu Sans and then try DejaVu Sans Mono to see the difference.
I prefer to use Terminus font which is available in the main Fedora repo. It is the most crisp and clear font I've found. I usually set it to 11 point.
yum install terminus-fonts terminus-fonts-console

You write nearly - are there any specific fonts where you don't have the problem? And what happens if you create a new user and launch a fresh terminal there, does the problem persist?
I always install Infinality Freetype patches, that significantly improve font rendering http://www.infinality.net/blog/infina...
DeJaVu Sans works good (only)
it says that i do have installed infinality-freetype-patches
