Description of problem: Qt4 apps running under gnome ignore font hinting style set by fontconfig. Fontconfig in clean Desktop installation has default value set for hintstyle: [user@localhost ~]$ fc-match "" hintstyle :hintstyle=3 however Qt4 apps ignore this and not use hinting at all. Result is fuzzy and different looking fonts than gtk apps. If i create /etc/fonts/local.conf with: <match target="pattern"> <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"> <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> it sets hintstyle to :hintstyle=3 "again" and Qt4 picks this setup and starts using hinting.
