10-hinting-slight.conf, 11-lcdfilter-default.conf and 30-metric-
aliases.conf definitely weren't there before, and adding them made fonts
look wrong. Other people aren't complaining because they just accept the
default font rendering. So they already have these files and don't
notice when they are re-added.

Title:
  update broke fonts in firefox

Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu Studio 14.04. The updates window popped up and asked me
  to install updates. Which I did. This somehow broke my font
  configuration. So that I have blurry fonts in firefox. No other
  application is affected.

  I have modified nothing in /etc/fonts/conf.avail.

  If updates changes the contents of /etc/fonts/conf.d I do not see the
  purpose of having a conf.avail/conf.d - organization. The purpose must
  be to let users link or unlink files in conf.d to files in conf.avail.

  I don't expect updates to create links in /etc/fonts/conf.d that were
  previously created at installation time or upgrate time. So if I
  unlink something in /etc/fonts/conf.d I expect it to stay that way.

  Changes to the files themselves should go in /etc/fonts/conf.avail.

  Changes to which files are available by default in /etc/fonts/conf.d
  should be applied only when they are CHANGES. Not reinstall the
  default links with every update.
