Comment 9 for bug 1290697

I applied your fix, Jeff, and it did make everything consistent and prevent Gedit from changing. However, all the fonts look slightly thinner. Granted, they look better than with that dconf setting set to rgba without your font.conf file (and also better to the Gedit-with-scrollbars one), but they are still off. See attached (top is the normal rendering, the bottom with your fix).

I had no fontconfig files at all in my home directory, so I don't think that's what could be causing the problem.
