           Summary: hintstyle specified in fontconfig is ignored while rgba
                    is respected
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.4.10
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: freetype font backend
        AssignedTo: freedesktop at behdad.org
        ReportedBy: bellylin at yahoo.com.tw
         QAContact: cairo-bugs at cairographics.org


cairo behaves inconsistently on hintstyle and rgba settings. If specified in
fonts.conf something like this:

<edit name="rgba" mode="assign" ><const>rgb</const><edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign" ><const>hintfull</const></edit>

cairo would respond to rgba but not to hintstyle; hintstyle can only be set via
gtk( through gnome-settings-daemon).

Although i don't know how to code, but after looking at the code (several
times), i commented this out in cairo-ft-font.c (in function
_cairo_ft_options_merge):

if (options->base.hint_style == CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_DEFAULT)

and everything goes fine.
Is this the right solution?
