fontconfig neither reads nor writes X11 resources.
It just provides match results to applications/toolkits, that then decide whether to augment them with other stuff, like from XRDB.
To check whether a given entry in a fontconfig configuration file has had an effect, debug the match with 'FC_DEBUG=1 fc-match -v'.
Things like lcdfilter are sometimes better off in XRDB as they're display specific. Except when you want to have different defaults for different fonts.
