In Cairo there is following logic for setting the HintStyle implemented:
if the system-wide setting (I really don't know if it is XSETTINGS
Xft/HintStyle served by gnome-settings-daemon or xrdb xft.hintstyle value)
contains any valid value (int = 0-3, which represent HintNone, HintSlight,
HintMedium and HintFull ), this value overrides everything and will be always
used by Cairo.
if the system-wide setting doesn't exist, the HintFull is assumed and that
value will be used.
if the system-wide setting exists, but is not valid, the HintStyle returned
by FontConfig will be used.
I have modified the code (options represent the system-wide options object,
others represents settings returned by FontConfig):
if (options->base.hint_style == CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_DEFAULT)
options->base.hint_style = others->base.hint_style
into
if (others->base.hint_style != CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_DEFAULT)
options->base.hint_style = others->base.hint_style
This way, if FontConfig has any information about Hinting of the font
that was requested, that information will be used. Otherwise Cairo uses
the default system-wide setting.
