[Bug 1591678] [NEW] Font Rendering with incorrect *Hinting*

[Fred]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I try and render a label using "convert" ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 (Ubuntu
16.04 lts):

[code]convert -fill black -font "PT-Sans-Narrow" -density 96 -pointsize
12 +antialias label:"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
1234567890" text.png[/code]

[img]https://fe8.de/index.php/s/dSSEkAQypdmQDPF/download[/img]

using the same font in Windows the [b]Hinting [/b]is done correctly:

[img]https://fe8.de/index.php/s/vrZUeCgxhhZFrOt/download[/img]

I already checked and modified:

/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf

... where I [i]enabled [/i]hinting, [b]disabled [/b]autohint, switched to hintstyle: [b]hintmedium[/b].
fc-cache -f -v
This should do BCI-like hinting (patent expired) and should be available/default in >16.04.

The font is detected ok, but hinting settings in fontconfig are ignored.

Please help, thank you!
