Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.8.0-2.1
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.
