--- Comment #6 from Akira TAGOH tagoh@redhat.com --- (In reply to AGS from comment #4)
Akira, unfortunately I think this is a related issue but not exactly a duplicate of the one you mentioned. I don't have a problem with fuzzy fonts. My problem is that on installation Fedora does not configure fonts in a way that makes sense for users with LCD or LED monitors or those running on laptops. While it is true that the desktop environments control font hinting for apps under their direct control other X11 apps that have separate rendering systems are not.
Well, I'd say that is out of the scope of fontconfig and is what desktops takes care. making dependencies to X and/or any hardware specific things in fontconfig isn't a good idea unless there are anything supporting cross-platforms.
