You have to do. if you want to override the desktop's anyway, mode="assign"
instead of "prepend" or "append" would do the job. though it may give you
another confusion in the future. I wouldn't recommend to do that.

Well, those configuration in /etc/fonts/conf.d doesn't override the desktop
configuration if they have. the point is, there are applications doesn't follow
the desktop's. they simply read the font configurations from fontconfig. both
configurations should has consistency in that sense. but fontconfig as a lower
layer library to desktops can't do that and desktops should be responsible
IMHO.

Anyway, good to check with fc-match -v | grep hint if you doubt some hinting
configuration isn't applied.

That is your preference. then changing hintstyle wouldn't help. that's it.
