[edit] How to fix Font Hinting for Linux QT3 and Opera

cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
sudo rm 10-hinting-medium.conf
sudo rm 10-no-sub-pixel.conf
sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf

QT, Openoffice(and other fontconfig programs which are not part of gtk) doesn't respect your gtk's font settings(which seems only to modify information in xrdb). However, since they ara raw fontconfig clients, they will proceed ~/.fonts.conf. then all we need is to make sure the ~/.fonts.conf is compatible same as your gtk settings.

add this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

you could also try setting

<match target="font">
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit name="rgba" mode="assign">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
