Bug description:
  Binary package hint: fontconfig

  The following doesn't work unless I use;

      <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>

  What I thought should work;

      <match target="font">
          <test compare="eq" name="family">
              <string>Consolas</string>
          </test>
          <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
              <const>hintslight</const>
          </edit>
      </match>

  What actually works;

      <match target="font">
          <test compare="eq" name="family">
              <string>Consolas</string>
          </test>
          <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
          <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
          <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
          <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
          <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"><const>hintslight</const></edit>
      </match
