I have created a fonts.conf configuration file $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the following content: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>none</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> According to xrdb -q (after re-login) the following values are set: Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: true Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium So the config seems to be ignored.
fontconfig itself doesn't apply own config to X resources. try fc-match -v and see those values are applied there. given that it's a bug, I have no idea who is responsible.
Yes fc-match -v lists the correct settings. So do you have any ideas why they are not applied to X resources?
At least I can see hardcoding X resources in /etc/X11/Xresources. again, I have no idea who is responsible to _update_. anyway, it's not a bug for fontconfig. if you are not sure where this should be reassigned to, I'll close this.
Please reopen and correct the component if you see who's responsible to update Xresources for that.
