    Spurious fonts change

    Hi,

    After updating Kubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10 I started to encounter spurious system wide fonts change. It happens on a fresh 11.10 installation as well. It seems to occur after changing system settings (not font related). I fix it by rm .fonts.conf, but it's quite annoying and it took me quite a while to figure it out.
    This is how the config looks like after being created at random moment:

    <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
    <fontconfig>
    <match target="font">
    <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
    <const>none</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font">
    <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
    <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font">
    <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
    <const>hintmedium</const>
    </edit>
    </match>
    <match target="font">
    <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
    <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
    </match>
    </fontconfig>

    I'd consider it as a bug.

    What's it look like when it goes haywire?

        Sorry, I meant the .fonts.conf file

          It's in my very first message, sorry for not being clear enough.
          Here it is again:

          <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
          <fontconfig>
          <match target="font">
          <edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
          <const>none</const>
          </edit>
          </match>
          <match target="font">
          <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
          <bool>true</bool>
          </edit>
          </match>
          <match target="font">
          <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
          <const>hintmedium</const>
          </edit>
          </match>
          <match target="font">
          <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
          <bool>true</bool>
          </edit>
          </match>
          </fontconfig>

            So it looks the same before and after the fonts change but deleting it corrects the problem?

              I'm not sure how it was looking before the problem appeared, maybe it didn't exist at all, but deleting it fixes the issue.
