It looks like it is using fully hinted fonts when my GNOME and FontConfig settings specify the slight hinting mode: $ query|grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintslight Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault Xft.rgba: rgb Any hints if I can check what settings Emacs is using, or how I should tell it which settings to use?
