FWIW, the meaning of slight hinting changed as well [1]: In the past, setting ‘slight’ hinting via FontConfig or configuration GUIs meant that native hints within a font were ignored; FreeType’s auto-hinter would analyze the font on the fly and automatically do what the font designer would have to do at least semi-manually. [..] Setting ‘slight’ hinting usually leads to FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT. This mode implied the auto-hinter before and has now been changed to mean “Use native vertical-grid-only-snapping if driver and font supports it and vertical-grid-only auto-hinter otherwise”. Right now, only the OpenType/CFF driver is supported. In the future, this will hopefully include the TrueType engine once full support for ClearType arrives. (ClearType is available since 2.7) Bitmap fonts are unaffected, of course.

Hmm right, I forgot to add the new files. I'm committing the diff that installs them to conf.avail. I'll wait a bit until more people have tried the new default 'slight' anti-aliasing do decide if OpenBSD wants this as a default or not.

xenocara fontconfig: make slight hinting the default
