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?
