Bug Description
I have font hinting disabled in fontconfig AND in my gnome settings, yet Qt 4.5 still draws BCI-hinted fonts.
Update: having hinting = false seems to have no effect on Qt, either with QtGtkStyle or Plastique.
Workaround: hintstyle=hintnone (as opposed to hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull) controls it perfectly in Qt.
So the bug is that Qt firstly does not honour GConf settings for QtGtkStyle as it is supposed to, and then that in the fontconfig setup, it ignores the "hinting" setting completely.
