I see in fonts.conf entries like:
<match target="font">
<test name="family">
<string>Bitstream Vera Sans</string>
</test>
<test name="pixelsize" compare="less">
<double>7.5</double>
</test>
<edit name="hinting">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
So set 'false' to 'true'?
Where is a good place to read about how 'fonts.conf' works??
Thanks for your help,
Tom
