I don't think we should change the fontconfig defaults to match some
developpers personnal tastes.
Fonts appearance are a lot a matter of personal preferences. So it's
ok to need to tweak some buttons if you're not happy with the defaults.
What application(s) is(are) affected ?
Which font and font size is it ?
Personnally I do indeed prefer autohinting for small DejaVu Mono
fonts. So I've set that in my ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf file:
<!-- enable autohint for some fonts -->
<match target="font">
<test name="family">
<string>DejaVu Sans Mono</string>
</test>
<test compare="less" name="pixelsizë>
<double>8</double>
</test>
<edit name="autohint" mode="append">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
