I admit I don't know how printing specific rendering is being done. Is it that antialiasing and hinting are turned off because printer resolution is much higher than screen and it wouldn't make sense to leave them on? (no visible effect?)

Sorry for discussing bug 17722 here, but how come that rules in 10-sub-pixel-*.conf can override anything? Isn't it how defaults supposed to be set, giving that "50-user.conf" can override it later and any "low-level" fontconfig user can do the same if needed? (and virtually all Xft.rgba touching stuff does it anyway? Or doesn't? Or is xrm/fc priority issue? See? This should be nuked.)
