I found simply deleting or renaming
/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf restores the less bold fonts I
had in BLFS 7.9. I believe another solution is to use the following
code in /etc/fonts/local.conf:
<match target="font">
<edit name="hinting" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign">
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<!-- enable/disable autohinter -->
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
This is not a BLFS problem and probably not a fontconfig-2.12.1
problem. But I prefer the clearer, less bold fonts of
fontconfig-2.11.1. There may be other ways but if this helps someone
who also prefers the previous fonts - great.
