fontconfig defaults to slight hinting both in Ubuntu and upstream. This
seems to produce the best results for the most people.

Title:
Fontconfig should default to full hinting
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Invalid
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: fontconfig
dpkg -S /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-medium.conf
fontconfig-config: /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-hinting-medium.conf
Ubuntu Hardy has the following symlink by default:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2008-04-02 19:17 10-hinting-medium.conf ->
../conf.avail/10-hinting-medium.conf
This really should (instead) be:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2008-04-02 19:17 10-hinting-full.conf ->
../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf
This default is causing issue like this:
