Package: fontconfig-config

Severity: important
Tags: patch
First, thanks for all the work with font rendering- I mean it.
Sorry if it is not appropriate as it might be also related to
gnome-control-center / gnome-appearance-properties.
I am reporting on fontconfig-config, as this is where I found a fix
I am considering it important, as it affects future squeeze whole
desktop homogeneity
Via gnome-appearance-properties, when selecting a particular hintstyle
in font-rendering, it is properly honored in Gtk apps but not in Qt apps
According to man fonts-conf, regarding hintstyle, there aren't any
available rules for serving hintnone, hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull
Adding rules in /etc/fonts/conf.avail for hintstyles and symlinking the
preferred one in /etc/fonts/conf.d (hintslight in my case) makes Qt apps
honor it and thus keeping same font rendering between Gtk and Qt.
/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-[none|slight|medium|full].conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Use Slight Hinting -->
<match target="font">
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
<const>hintslight</const>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
thanks again.
