Public bug reported: After a fresh installation of Xubuntu I spent a day trying to properly configure my font rendering. However no matter what settings I put in /etc/fonts/*, the lcd-filter setting seemed to be ignored. I finally found that the default .Xdefaults file which is placed in the user's homedir after installation contains the following lines:
---8<--------- ! Xft settings ------------------------------------------- Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.antalias: true Xft.rgba: rgb Xft.hinting: true Xft.hintstyle: hintslight Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault -->8------ This prevents any system settings (such as for example /etc/fonts/local.conf) from taking effect. Also for example the font configuration guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration will not work as expected. The default configuration in the user's homedir should not override the system defaults, instead these defaults should be place directly in the system configuration file. If the user wishes to change or override the system setting he or she can do so himself, without being surprised by default, hidden, configuration files.
