Missing 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf from /etc/fonts/conf.d

[DEXTER]

I've just installed Ubuntu-trusty, and noticed that in Thunderbird the fonts are rendered incorrectly. It seemed that the problem is with sub-pixel rendering.

After much googling and finding nothing I've started to compare the /etc/fonts/conf.d dir on my Precise machin with the trusty one. I noticed that on trusty the 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf file is missing from the conf.d dir, but is available in the conf.avail.
After I created the symlink and rebooted, my thunderbird font rendering became normal again.

But now if I start from something from the terminal it says:
"Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf", line 10: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected"

So the 1st question, why did you leave out the monospace-lcd-filter.conf from the fontconfig conf.d, and the second is why didn't you update it so it won't complaing about the multiple test tags.

Hello Dexter,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the fontconfig package. You made this bug report in 2014 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 1325525
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

[Expired for fontconfig (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I can confirm that the issue is still present in 18.04:
- 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf is not linked into conf.d (not sure if it is a bug by itself)
- when the file is linked into conf.d, the warning about broken config appears (this is definitely a bug)

The warning was fixed with https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/2.13.0-5ubuntu3
