This is my /etc/fonts/local.conf file ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <include 
ignore_missing="yes">/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf</include>
  <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
  <match target="font">
    <test qual="all" name="rgba">
      <const>unknown</const>
    </test>
    <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"><const>rgb</const></edit>
  </match>
  <match target="font">
    <edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
      <bool>true</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

So seems to be bitmap on ! no ? ...
