[Bug 210921] Re: Fontconfig should default to full hinting

[Jeremy Bicha]

fontconfig defaults to slight hinting both in Ubuntu and upstream. This
seems to produce the best results for the most people.

Title:
  Fontconfig should default to full hinting

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: fontconfig

  
  dpkg -S /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-medium.conf 
  fontconfig-config: /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-medium.conf

  Ubuntu Hardy has the following symlink by default:
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  34 2008-04-02 19:17 10-hinting-medium.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-hinting-medium.conf

  This really should (instead) be:
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  34 2008-04-02 19:17 10-hinting-full.conf -> ../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf

  This default is causing issue like this:
