This does not work for me in Gnome. I actually have to set hinting to full using Gnome Tweak Tool (or dconf) to get full hinting going.
You have to do. if you want to override the desktop's anyway, mode="assign" instead of "prepend" or "append" would do the job. though it may give you another confusion in the future. I wouldn't recommend to do that.
Tried that. Doesn't work for Gnome, although I get:
$ fc-match -v | grep hint hintstyle: 3(i)(w) hinting: True(s) autohint: True(w)
Gnome uses slight, because that its default, it seems.
So, here is what I don't understand. If I have that symlink to 10-hinting-slight in /etc/fonts/conf.d, Gnome will revert to slight, although I have it set to full explicitly. So, somehow slight is "stronger" and fonts get blurred.
To clarify, fc-match doesn't read the GNOME's configuration. if you see it "revert" to slight from that result, that isn't correct. assuming that you don't modify 10-hinting-slight and contains mode="append". If you want to see the actual font properties on GNOME applications, run your apps with FC_DEBUG=1.
