It’s not the ordering. It’s the config in 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf
The reason this file is there is that when lcddefault was introduced
some of the developers weren’t happy with the look of monospace fonts in
their terminal at low point sizes. So a compromise was made to move to
the new way
BTW, this file still uses obsolete syntax:
edit name=lcd_filter mode=assign
constlcdlegacy/const

But this fix broke antialiasing in gnome-terminal, see attached shots.
First was made in gvim, and the second in vim in terminal. I used Droid Sans
Mono 10 in both of them.
(This is just an example, I'm using Emacs with gray background and
difference is felt not so strong there :D )

do you mean it was better with the same conf in ~/.fonts.conf ?

Rendering in gnome-terminal doesn't seem me perfect.
Rendering in GVIM with slight hinting which I need.
But rendering in VIM similar to full or medium hinting.

It is in the case when I have no ~/.fonts.conf. When I have it everything is
OK.
I suppose I shouldn't have any .fonts.conf file if I set up font settings
through Gnome gui.
Especially because in this case everything except of gnome-terminal, qt apps
and, of course, ugly sucking OO.org looks OK.
One possible reason could be the ordering of the fontconfig rules.
/etc/fonts/conf.d/README reads:
00 through 09 Font directories
10 through 19 system rendering defaults (AA, etc)
20 through 29 font rendering options
30 through 39 family substitution
40
ok, the initial problem raised by Joe was marked as bug 271088 and fixed 2
hours ago.
the problem with OpenOffice.org was filled as a separate bug 271283 (by Joe).
so it seems like this bug could be closed.
Do you agree Joe? As the owner you can close it (I guess).
Thanks,
Dan.

I'm the guy who helped merge the lcd filtering patch upstream. Tobias analysis
is right, Cairo uses the lcdlegacy filter by default if nothing is specified in
the Xrm database or in the Fontconfig configuration (which is what you have
from a clean Ubuntu install).
Cairo uses the lcdlegacy
bug 271088 filed. This one could be marked as a duplicate.

This however doesn't explain how openoffice also lost the subpixel
rendering since the cairo update. And QT also seems to act weird under
gnome, however that might be other bug.

It is not just openoffice it is also QT applications (skype) and
Synaptic in sudo mode (but i guess that is because the fonts.conf is in
home dir). So it is not really a good workaround. Anyhow it should get
fix with priority. And it is NOT a bug in openoffice!

For Qt4 you have to add the lcdfilter snippet to /etc/fonts/local.conf
because Qt for some reason does not look into your ~/.fonts.conf. But
this will not work either because of LP bug #217729 .

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important
for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can
