Clicking the Font's control panel in System Settings > Appearance > Fonts automatically creates or appends to the ~/.fonts.conf.  This action is done either if global settings are already configured either through /etc/fonts/conf.d and /etc/fonts/local.conf or locally in and already existing ~/.fonts.conf.  The file is automatically created/appended to even if 'Use anti-aliasing:' is set to 'System Settings'.

Defaulting to rgba=none to the fonts.conf really mucks up my fonts.  I could suggest here to use rgba=rgb as most monitors use rgb, but can give no percentage to what amount.  I'd personally like to see no creating of the fonts.conf unless anti-aliasing becomes enabled if this is at all possible.  And then possibly a dialog??? if a fonts.conf already exists?

I don't know, just throwing things out here.  All I know is that I avoid the Font control panel when I go to system settings.

Bug 149455 / bug 105797 are related/ the same as this.
Thanks

Yeah, kinda thought they might be.  Because system settings is new I wasn't sure.  Because system settings has new options perhaps this is still a valid bug?  If I remember correctly kcontrol doesn't have an anti-alias as 'system-settings' option.

Merging with bug 105797 (now in SystemSettings)
Thanks
