For me, Emacs displays font properly (something similar to your
"emacs-from-fedora.png") even without libotf support.  Did you install
any ttf fonts in your user profile (like "font-dejavu" or
"font-liberation")?  After installing the fonts you can run "fc-cache
-fv", though it is probably not needed.

I use the following in my emacs config to set up the default font:

  (set-frame-font "Liberation Mono-12" nil t)
