--- Comment #3 from Akira TAGOH <akira at tagoh.org> ---
I don't know which one was default on your desktop/distro though, settings
hintslight by default was to keep consistency for non-desktop-aware
applications to the desktop-aware applications which inherits the desktop
configurations. I may think of some solutions/workarounds:

- if you prefer the old behavior no matter what it looks different to the
desktop applications:

I won't do anything for that in fontconfig but you can do it in your own config
like:

<match target="pattern">
  <test name="prgname"><string>your application name</string></test>
  <edit name="hintstyle"
mode="assign"><const>your_preferred_hintstyle</const></edit>
</match>

- if hintslight isn't default hinting on distro:

I'd suggest your package maintainer to change the default hinting in your
distro. I've just committed the change to allow that in configure:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=0ed1575917a28c6be56481509660bd783c7b6040

- if hintslight doesn't fit in to your desktop or your preference:

You can create a symlink or copy a file from one of
10-hinting-{full,medium,none,slight}.conf on $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d.

I won't do more than that since this is subjective matter and the changes was
to follow up to the desktop default configuration.
