> The bottom line is: why not use fontconfig for everything,

Fontconfig doesn't know whether the text is being rendered to an LCD
screen or a printer, so fontconfig needs to be told subpixel order and
whether hinting is appropriate.

Problems happen when fontconfig rules blindly override such information
(bug 17722, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105797), as well as
when apps/toolkits blindly override fontconfig patterns (this bug).
