Example fontconfig file
SUMMARY
In System Settings, the hinting style cannot be changed from "Slight".
Applying the changes and restarting the app reverts the field to "Slight".
The only way to change this was to set a value in a fontconfig file first
(either ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf or /etc/fonts/fonts.conf).
I don't know if its intended to, but setting "Xft.hintstyle" in an X resource
has no effect.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Remove any file in /etc/fonts/conf.d that contains "hintstyle" and the
hintstyle section in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
2. Set (System Settings -> Fonts -> Fonts -> Hinting) to "Medium"
3. Apply
4. Close
5. Observe (System Settings -> Fonts -> Fonts -> Hinting) is "Slight"
6. Observe "hintstyle" does not appear in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
7. Link a fontconfig file that sets "hintstyle" `sudo ln -s
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-none.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/` (example
attached)
8. Set (System Settings -> Fonts -> Fonts -> Hinting) to "Full"
9. Apply
10. Close
11. Observe (System Settings -> Fonts -> Fonts -> Hinting) is "Full"
12. Observe "hintstyle" does not appear in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
13. Repeat steps 1 - 5
OBSERVED RESULT
The setting cannot change when the setting has not been set by fontconfig
files.
EXPECTED RESULT
The setting should change even if no fontconfig files set the value.
