The statement in your first sentence is wrong - running into this bug
does not require manual fiddling with fontconfig configuration as you
claim.
Quoting the workaround in the bug log:
<-- snip -->
2. Change "append" back to "assign" in contradiction to the comments in
10-autohint.conf, 10-subpixel-rgb.conf, and 11-lcdfilter-default.conf.
<-- snip -->
10-autohint.conf and 11-lcdfilter-default.conf are shipped as part of
fontconfig-config, and this problem is present there.
And this workaround is basically a revert of upstream
commit 1aaf8b77 (Bug 17722 - Don't overwrite user's
configurations in default config).
I am using FVWM, and after looking at this commit I'd guess people using
one of the major desktop environments might not run into this problem.
