[Fedora TeX Live] TeXLive 2011 breaking typesetting; why is Fedora using a development TeXLive?

[Zdeněk Janeček]

Hi,
pdf files have more problems. I can't understand what fonts are used
when I create PDF. It should be something like cm*, but are used strange
bitmap fonts generated on the first run to the folder ~/.texlive2010.
Result is not good.

I get same result in both ways: pdflatex or latex, dvips, ps2pdf. I use
evince to get information about fonts.
