fontconfig-config still looks like it contains
/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf

http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/all/fontconfig-config/filelist

The reporter reported the lcd filter changes with the switch from system-cairo.

asac, it was you who raised the issue of gtk settings and changed the summary of this bug, yet i don't see anyone claiming that that started with the switch from system-cairo.

You see that behavior in cairo apps because of this bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11838

The correct behavior is to give fontconfig the option of checking the gtk settings and adjusting according to the font. This is the behavior of Xft apps (though Qt has its own peculiarities).
